+## NEFSC Passive Acoustic Branch Lab Manual
 
-A key priority of the PAM SI is to build an open science culture across the agency by leveraging GitHub as a collaboration, coordination, and project management tool. To achieve this we will develop national and regional lab manuals that follow a parallel structure and link to each other. These manuals will serve as the primary storage location for all lab related information, including methods and data management, and will be a single access resource to support coordination across science center PAM programs.
+The Passive Acoustic Branch (PAB) is part of the Protected Species Division of the NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center. Our group uses passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) to study marine animals and ecosystems in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic waters of the United States.
