    Shocking! The Trump administrations dismantling of the ocean monitoring program could have catastrophic impacts on our coastal ecosystems and global climate. Science demands better protection of our oceans.

    While its disappointing, its important to remember that every challenge brings an opportunity for innovation and improvement. Lets hope the new administration sees the value in investing in ocean health and finds a way to revitalize the program with a focus on sustainability and scientific rigor.
