NOS OR&R Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) Northwest and Great Lakes Branch

OR&R's Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) protects and restores coastal habitats and resources affected by hazardous materials releases or ship grounding. All of ARD's efforts, from assessment to restoration, are coordinated at a regional level. ARD's Regional Resource Coordinators (RRCs) are NOAA environmental scientists who work to provide the technical foundation for assessments of ecological risk and environmental and economic injury from contamination at hazardous waste sites and to improve coordination among trustee agencies.

Mary Baker is the ARD Regional Branch Chief for the Northwest and Great Lakes Branch, which covers Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.
