Coastal economies rely on NOAA, from Maine to Florida, Texas and Alaska – even if they don’t realize it
Coastal economies rely on NOAA, from Maine to Florida, Texas and Alaska – even if they don’t realize it
NOAA’s work has kept fisheries from collapsing, helped coastal ecosystems survive extreme heat and battled invasive species, among many other tasks essential to coastal economies.

Scientists first collected a pig butt worm from the dark ocean depths near Monterey, California. The size of marbles, pigbutts are a near complete mystery. Officially described in 2007, scientists aren’t even sure if the pigbutt form is an adult, or just a very very awkward adolescent stage.

NOAA has been told to alter maps etc to say Gulf of America. Its Scientific Integrity Policy page is currently down, to be scrubbed of "diversity" mentions and such. Climate science is under attack. All international collaboration—interpreted broadly—must be run by political appointees. My latest:
NOAA Is Getting Dragged Down Into the Mud
Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

In Australia its a cheaper to cause an oil spill than to get a nursing degree
In Norway they tax their oil industry and give kids free degrees while in Australia we subsidise the oil industry and charge kids a fortune to go to uni

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯
Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them.

I have a story in the Jan/Feb 2025 issue of MIT Technology Review magazine featuring ship movement data visualizations I made using NOAA AIS data. This originally ran in my @beautifulpublicdata.com newsletter. Always fun to see this in print!

Wild animals are a tiny proportion.

Hi lovely people! Would you mind boosting my Salish Sea marine science art? My contract job is going on an unexpected hiatus until sometime in July so I'd really appreciate the support.
