- 1Scientists and fishermen urge continued federal funding for ocean observation●Scientists, fishermen want feds to keep funding deep-ocean observation system
Scientists and fishermen in the United States are calling on federal agencies to maintain funding for a deep-ocean observation system. The network provides data on ocean conditions that researchers use for study and fishing fleets rely on for safety and operations. Both groups warn that losing the funding would leave a gap in monitoring of deep-sea environments and could affect commercial fishing decisions.
