Scientists and commercial fishermen in the United States are calling on federal agencies to continue funding a deep-ocean observation system that monitors conditions far below the surface. The system provides data used for research and fishing operations, and supporters warn that cutting funding would leave a gap in understanding of deep-sea conditions and their effects on marine life and coastal economies.
