Scientists and fishermen urge continued funding for ocean observation system
Original: Scientists, fishermen want feds to keep funding deep-ocean observation system
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.
Why now: Federal funding for the deep-ocean observation system is under threat, prompting scientists and fishermen to push publicly for its continuation.
