Station Papa out?

The Alaska Marine Community Coalition is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration moving to dismantle "one of the world's most advanced ocean monitoring systems."

This includes Station Papa, a key site in the Gulf of Alaska.

"Station Papa has been collecting ocean data since the Cold War era, making it one of the longest continuous ocean records in the North Pacific," AMCC writes in this blog post.

With ocean changes evolving rapidly and events such as salmon and crab crashes and marine heatwaves becoming more common, the group argues "we need more information about our oceans, not less."
