The NOAA Service Flag

The NOAA flag flies over all NOAA ships and is the official flag of NOAA. Its origins can be traced to the Coast and Geodetic Survey ships. The symbol of a triangle repeated on the flag and throughout the NOAA Corps uniform insignia represents the triangulation methodology of geodetic survey. The NOAA logo was added to the flag in 1970 when NOAA was formed. The seagull symbolizes the mission of NOAA. It represents life that exists and interacts within the areas of NOAA's primary concern: the sea, the land, the air and, more specifically, life's dependence on the interface of these elements.
