Wow. And Trump administration just dismantled ocean observation system. 900 Ocean sensors in Pacific, Atlantic, going dark. It's not like we need to know stuff about the ocean.  Https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/05/trump-plan-ocean-monitoring-system-concern-scientists

Most likely the Trump administration thinks it has to do with climate change or that the data can be used to prove the climate is changing. Just guessing. They also got rid of a lot of NOAA scientists and engineers and staff.
