Democrats request the Trump administration halt dismantling the NSF Ocean Observation System, citing legal and environmental concerns.
Quiver AI Summary
Democratic Leaders Demand Action: On June 15, 2026, Representatives Jared Huffman and Zoe Lofgren, along with Democratic colleagues, called for the National Science Foundation (NSF) to halt an alleged illegal dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). They contend the move, reported by the New York Times, lacked proper notification and could jeopardize critical scientific resources.
Concerns Over Climate Impact: The letter from the lawmakers states, “eliminating 80 percent of a project... amounts to nothing less than dismantling.” They emphasize OOI's significance for coastal communities, fisheries, and Tribes, arguing that its data is vital for understanding climate change effects and supporting the economy.
Insistent Demands: The members criticized the NSF's actions as contrary to public interest, stating, “We demand that you cease this expensive, destructive, and – crucially – illegal action at once.” They contend that this reflects a broader anti-science agenda within the administration.
