Trump cuts ocean sensor monitor at hurricane season..If ocean temperatures spike there’s no one around to record it, In Buxton N.C.thirty-two houses have collapsed into the ocean since 2020. The most recent one was last week, devoured in under half an hour during a minor coastal storm.

Trump’s decision to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative is incredibly shortsighted. This network provides real-time data on ocean warming, marine heat waves, coastal flooding, fishery health, and powerful currents that shape our climate. Maine will feel the impacts of losing this data.

Hurricane season starts and Trump wants to quit monitoring the oceans. • The buoy 80 meters (260 feet) below the water’s surface will be removed June 16 from the Ocean Observatories Initiative — a network of more than 900 ocean sensors built at a cost of $386 apnews.com/article/clim...

1-1 Trump’s war on science is now reaching our oceans. By gutting vital sea-monitoring programs, this administration is tearing out the eyes and ears that track climate change, hurricanes, fisheries, and ocean health. You can’t protect what you refuse to measure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WIC...

Trump Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c... This is so we don’t know what’s coming. I hope Mar A Lago gets blown away to Oz by the next mega hurricane that comes along. Bring it Mother Nature. Bring it.

ALERT: "Trump Admin to DISMANTLE Ocean Monitoring System." It collects "data in both the Atlantic and Pacific [and] has been critical to climate and ocean research." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c... IMPEACH Trump NOW, @raskin.house.gov❗ RUSSIAN ASSET Donald Trump damages U.S. & world 24/7/365.

The Trump administration is ditching a vital deep-sea monitoring system at a dangerous time of record-breaking sea temps, an imminent super El Niño & fears a critical system of ocean currents could collapse, ushering in global chaos. www.cnn.com/2026/06/03/c...

This is absolutely crazy. Wouldn’t you want to know if the ocean currents are changing? Wouldn’t you want to know ocean temperatures? These things affect everything from fishing to hurricanes. The Trump administration is dismantling an ocean monitoring system. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

Good news! Sens. Merkley & Murkowski have forced the Trump Administration to stop dismantling an ocean monitoring system that collects data on coastal flooding, fisheries, ocean currents, and weather events like El Niño. #BabyAnimalsHaveGoodNews

TRUMP DISMANTLING “EYES AND EARS” OF THE OCEAN - Ocean Observatories Initiative is a vast network of seafloor systems, underwater gliders and moored surface platforms that feeds data worldwide, used to study marine heatwaves, algal blooms, subduction zone earthquakes, ocean acidification and more.

Trump scraps ocean sensors providing crucial data on flooding, Bloomberg - The network of sensors, moorings and autonomous instruments known as the Ocean Observatories Initiative will be stripped of almost all in-water infrastructure, according to plans announced in late May by the National cont..

Vote! So that we can get rid of this buffoonery. “Trump administration ends ocean monitoring system that tracked temperature and flooding.” I bet he’s removing them off the coast of blue states. www.msn.com/en-us/weathe...

🚨 A key U.S. ocean monitoring system in the Mid-Atlantic is set to shut down after federal funding cuts. The system has provided continuous climate and weather data for years vital to hurricane forecasting and climate modeling. #ClimateData #OceanMonitoring #USScience

Trump has ended an important scientific project monitoring the oceans. What could possibly be wrong with that? 👇 The city of Lima is getting beach weather in winter. A wave of record-breaking undersea warmth associated with El Niño is arriving along the nation’s shores. No problem.

For hurricane season & an intense El Niño, the Trump regime is defunding the Ocean Observatories Initiative.The system runs 900 instruments across the Pacific/Atlantic, Now, just in time for hurricane season & an intense El Niño, Trump regime is defunding the Ocean Observatories Initiative.

After Senate vote, Trump admin backs off plans to kill ocean monitoring It's unclear whether the system is currently intact.

I hate this administration. We are looking at a busy hurricane system. Monitoring ocean temperatures and sea level rise. 'A solute you Crazy’: Horror as Trump Moves to Dismantle Crucial Ocean Monitoring System www.commondreams.org/news/subsurf...

Precisely as the historically most disastrous El Niño is getting started. Noncontextualized wildfires, floods & hurricanes will give broadcasters plenty to narrate, in the post-journalism era. Trump administration dismantles ambitious ocean monitoring program | PBS News [1/2]

Trump has been told TWICE by Congress that he cannot demolish the sensors under the ocean that form the vital heart of the US East Coast hurricane warning and forecast system. He is doing it anyway because it might cause "climate anxiety." Any and all environmental science is his enemy...

🔴 BREAKING: Scientists are warning that a Trump-backed plan to gut a major U.S. ocean monitoring system would do far more than cut research—it would blind parts of the world’s climate and storm warning infrastructure. Full story: iamdonnyevans.substack.com/i/200762133/...

We have to get Trump out. IF you like the world as a living organism in which ALL species thrive then Trump has to Go. He’s shutting down the ocean observatory system which informs us of how hot the ocean is getting. It tells us when hurricanes are coming. Now WHY would we want to know that?

Good news Friday! Scientists used their voice to alert to the many downsides of dismantling Ocean Observing Systems - and were heard! Trump Administration Backs Off Plan to End Ocean Monitoring www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/c...

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c... Trump and NSF dismantle system that measures how the ocean absorbs atmospheric greenhouse gases, how changes in ocean temperature like marine heat waves might affect fisheries or signal bigger shifts in the climate, and coastal flooding along the East Coast.

It is hard to deny clear evidence that the Earth is warming. Instead, Trump's NSF is removing the data collecting tools. This expensive removal of working marine monitoring equipment will hinder future assessment of dangers in El Niño strength, speed of hurricane intensification, AMOC shutdown, etc.

The Guardian reports that the Trump administration’s plan to axe the Ocean Observatories Initiative has left global scientists horrified. Removing these sensors will "severely degrade" critical early warning systems for hurricanes, cyclones, and El Niño events.

#ICYMI T administration dismantles CRITICALLY NECESSARY ocean monitoring program This hurts our ability to monitor disruptions to AMOC (that critical Atlantic Ocean current) and hurricane potential among many worrisome situations as our oceans continue to warm up. youtube.com/watch?v=yTpE...

At the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Rising seas, more frequent hurricanes, and coastal erosion have led dozens of houses to fall into the ocean in recent yrs. But rather than (ahem) shoring up capacity to monitor these risks, the Trump administration has decided to stop collecting relevant data.

Ocean observing instruments helps scientists improve hurricane forecasts of intensity and path The decision by the Trump administration courtesy of #Project25 to dismantle NOAA’s ocean monitoring system is reckless. It’s also dumb and stupid. oceantoday.noaa.gov/satellites-s...
