History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 541715-22 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Oceanographic Research & Development is a relatively new industry that emerged in the early 20th century. The first notable milestone in the industry's history was the Challenger Expedition, which took place from 1872 to 1876. This expedition marked the beginning of modern oceanography and led to the discovery of thousands of new species. In the 20th century, the industry continued to grow, with the establishment of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1930 and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1903. In recent years, the industry has seen significant advancements in technology, such as the development of autonomous underwater vehicles and the use of satellite imagery to study ocean currents and weather patterns. In the United States, the history of Oceanographic Research & Development is closely tied to the Cold War. During this period, the U.S. government invested heavily in oceanographic research to gain a strategic advantage over the Soviet Union. This led to the establishment of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1970 and the development of new technologies such as deep-sea submersibles and underwater acoustic sensors. In recent years, the industry has continued to grow, with a focus on studying the impacts of climate change on the world's oceans and developing sustainable ocean management practices.
