Trump is meeting with Vought today to see how they can advance this destructive plan. thebulletin.org/2025/09/whol...

Fight back! edition.cnn.com/2025/08/28/c... #fisheries #oceanography

It's becoming ever more apparent that ships should focus on what the autonomous vehicles cannot do. #fisheries #oceanography

There are times when the patterns of temperature on the ocean are simply beautiful, whether you are into the science or not. www.fishingmaps.info #fisheries #oceanography

Great to see Congress pushing back on this one. ecomagazine.com/news/policy/...

This sort of underhanded planning makes it very uncertain what the final U.S. 2026 science budget will actually look like. eos.org/research-and...

Lying is an epidemic among the tribal groups populating our nations. People lie to themselves to support their beliefs, and they believe the lies of leaders and influencers without checking sources.

There has been a lot of relief over the push back by congressional appropriations committees on the proposed massive funding cuts to science. But the battle is far from won. www.espadvisor.com/post/pocket-...

Here's a success story about the epidemiology of the sea star wasting disease, which is now a solved mystery, at least in terms of the culprit pathogen. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s...

With return of sunny weather, the main recreational bluefin tuna fishing areas in New Zealand (Waihau Bay and Hokitika) are developing more complex surface temperature structure and fronts, and we are seeing some unusually clear chlorophyll imagery coming through.

The monitoring station on Mauna Loa provides the longest direct measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere. Trump wants to shut it down, which is like taking the batteries out of your screaming smoke alarm and pretending the house isn't on fire. #climatechange

" The media showed that killing Atlas 15 in the face of recorded increased warming in the ocean and air which carries and dumps more rain, killing people in flash floods, is an act of callous disregard for the protection of American lives. And they reversed themselves. "

Some very good news concerning NOAA FY 2026 funding. Not done and dusted yet by any means, but great news at this step along the process nevertheless. michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/congressio...

It looks like NOAA is now facing another massive layoff from a Reduction In Force (RIF) of federal employees. #oceanography #fisheries thehill.com/regulation/c...

It's incredible that American scientists are currently finding refuge in Europe and China, and it's a loss that will take years to repair when that time comes. If the Trump administration carries through with the threat to end NOAA OAR that could close 10 labs and 16 cooperative institutes.

The government has lost it's mind to corporate greed and the project 2025 agenda. This proposal, which seems to be on the verge of becoming a reality this week is mind-numbingly stupid.

Hurricane season preparation is failing under the new "efficiency" measures.

A bad situation, however you look at it.

Does anyone else think "What was I on?" when they start to refactor their code?

Rise up and let them hear our voices!

If you are shocked, alarmed, or disappointed about the news that Climate.gov has been effectively shut down with the firing of its content team, here are some things you can do to help! (1/6) 🧪

Food for thought.

This is absolutely infuriating and totally unacceptable. It is blatant infringement with the flow of objective scientific information to the public. It violates the NOAA scientific integrity policy, which itself has been violated.

One of the cool things about the ongoing 100 hour weather and climate livestream is that you can scroll the time back and find a talk that you will enjoy. Get into it, it's real science that explains why we need science funding to continue. www.youtube.com/@wclivestrea...

The current American administration is doings it's best to muzzle scientists. This is dangerous for everyone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Check out the 100 hour climate live stream. www.youtube.com/@wclivestrea...

The 100 hour live climate stream is really pretty cool. www.youtube.com/@wclivestrea...

The live 100 climate stream is running, highlighting at risk climate science. Check it out: www.youtube.com/live/CcWR6Cd...

This is a blatant attempt to pervert the legitimacy of independent scientific research which is fundamental to informing management.

Unbelievably stupid. 100,000 federal employees on administrative leave for months, on full salary but prohibited from doing their jobs.

Some hopeful fisheries news.

Here's a LinkedIn post for BlueSky because I honestly can't be bothered to remake it into multiple posts to fit the 300 character limit. Hopefully BlueSky will lose the Twitter-like restriction on post length soon. www.linkedin.com/posts/sam-mc...

If Naomi Klein is even partly correct, then the people running the current U.S. administration are dangerously crackers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Cutting FEMA, NOAA, the NWS, & stopping all NSF grants at the same time is producing a tangle of incapacity. This loss of functionality will be sorely evident as the inevitable natural disasters arrive. Why people have to learn this the hard way is mystifying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

De-funding of observation systems and removal of long-term data repositories is a nightmare scenario that will do irreparable damage by creating gaps in critical records. lnkd.in/epQ75Kce
