Scientists and fishermen urge continued federal funding for ocean monitoring
Original: Scientists, fishermen want feds to keep funding deep-ocean observation system
Researchers and fishermen in the United States are calling on federal agencies to maintain funding for a deep-ocean observation system that tracks conditions far below the surface. The system provides data used for fisheries management, storm forecasting and marine research, and both groups warn that losing it would leave coastal communities and scientists without critical information about changing ocean conditions.
Why now: Federal funding for the observation system is at risk, prompting scientists and fishing interests to speak out about its value.
