Episode Details

Oregon lawmakers are sounding the alarm as the National Science Foundation moves to dismantle decades-old ocean monitoring buoys vital to marine research, fishing safety, and climate tracking — a move they’re calling a dangerous step backward. These buoys, part of a ten-year network including Oregon’s Coastal Endurance Array, provide real-time data used by scientists, fishermen, emergency responders, and educators. With El Niño expected to intensify, losing this infrastructure threatens coastal economies and our ability to respond to a changing ocean. Oregon’s Coastal Caucus is demanding the NSF immediately halt removals, conduct a transparent scientific review with key universities and stakeholders, and publicly justify the decision — arguing this isn’t just about science, but about protecting communities that depend on ocean data.
