NOAA Fisheries is vital for both ocean health & human well-being. It safeguards marine ecosystems & species, ensures sustainable seafood, and supports coastal economies. Without it, overfishing, habitat loss, and food insecurity would threaten us all. Protect our oceans—protect our future!

Mass Layoffs Begin at NOAA
The cuts came just before a separate wave of departures was expected under the Trump administration’s so-called deferred resignation program.
