Remember that tiny crab that went viral in January? 🦀 Our partners at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History are here to tell the rest of its story! Learn how this spiky crab is helping deep sea restoration efforts in the Gulf: ocean.si.edu/human-connec...

#Opinion: Deep budget cuts endanger the federal agency that tracks hurricanes, develops ocean tech and prevents overfishing. Can the fishing industry survive without it?

I'm a fishing-boat captain. Cuts to NOAA put the U.S. fishing industry at risk.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!
