US & International Institutions Boost Ocean Monitoring Amid Climate Concerns
A significant expansion of oceanographic monitoring is underway, with 20 new co-actors joining the existing network, bringing the total to 303. This expanded network involves US scientists and institutions (e.g., Scripps, Oregon State, UCLA), prominent US Senators (Jeff Merkley, Lisa Murkowski), and international bodies including the UN and the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. This collaborative effort, occurring after the Trump administration's attempted cuts to monitoring programs, signals a renewed and international commitment to oceanographic research across the Atlantic and Pacific, likely driven by escalating climate change concerns.
