NOS OR&R Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) Southeast 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.
Kevin Kirsch is the Acting ARD Regional Branch Chief for the Southeast Branch, which covers Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
