After Senate vote, #Trump admin backs off plans to kill ocean monitoring ~
The admin didn't seem to realize that the #data collected is used for an array of things (e.g., weather forecasting and fisheries management), not only for the #ClimateChange monitoring it abhors.
Now "the big question is whether some of the monitoring equipment (which took over $350 million of taxpayer money to build) has already been removed."
