The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its offices, including the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service, will be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
All maps, nautical charts, websites and weather products will reflect the name change that is part of an executive order US President Donald Trump signed focused on what the administration says is “restoring names that honor American greatness.”
