Sweeping research cuts in President Donald Trump’s proposed budget would target an ocean-monitoring system that scientists say is crucial to predicting tsunami escape routes and hurricane intensity and helping ships navigate dangerous harbors safely. The Integrated Ocean Observing System is a network of 11 regional groups located on U.S. coastlines from New Hampshire to Hawaii. The groups provide localized data in real time that emergency responders, commercial shippers, conservation groups and weather forecasters have relied on for the past 20 years. A memo leaked in April shows Trump wants to eliminate all federal funding for the regional groups’ work in the 2026 budget. The groups say the cuts would essentially end their work.
