Some thoughts from the Alaska Marine Conservation Council:

This is partisan hyperbole. Organizations in the private sector do staff reductions and still maintain services. A 10% reduction is reasonable. Cantwell and AMCC should retract their stories and apologize.
From the Anchorage Daily News:

Sen. Warren Magnuson would've drowned her a decade ago, back when Democrats had to pass eighth-grade math to get elected. When Noah built the ark, it was not raining. $36 trillion in debt, with $46 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and she wonders why Noah wouldn't have given her a room on the ark. He didn't have to worry about the fish, just the weather report.
Is it election season again? Once more the two dimwit senators from Washington state speak up and make fools of themselves. Both have been in office for decades and accomplished nothing except to inflate the deficit.
