NOAA in the Caribbean Community Group Meeting (September 20, 2024)

NOAA in the Caribbean is a forum to improve engagement, communication, coordination, and collaboration between NOAA and partners working in the Caribbean to more effectively and efficiently deliver services. Historically, NOAA in the Caribbean has focused on the United States, but we are working to expand our reach to international partners as well.
We hold Community Group meetings every two months on the third Friday where we invite NOAA and partner speakers to join and speak on their work in the region. Community Group meetings are open to anyone who is interested in hearing more about NOAA's role in the Caribbean. These meetings also serve as a platform to share information, announcements, and updates with other members.
This meeting was held and recorded on September 20, 2024 and featured three presentations and announcements from the Community Group.
