  • Summary

  • In the latest episode of the award-winning Rising Tide: the Ocean Podcast David and Vicki talk with retired NOAA Captain Craig McLean about the Trump administration’s attacks on the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. 20 percent of its workforce including weather forecasters and ocean and climate scientists have already been laid off and more than 10 percent of the budget cut and things could get worse. Having spent his career as a ship’s master in the uniformed NOAA Corps and as a lawyer and administrator including Acting Chief Scientist during the first Trump administration when he stood up for scientific integrity during the Sharpie-gate scandal, Craig will give us his unique perspective on what’s going on, and the importance of what NOAA does day to day to help our economy, security and environment and what we can all do to protect its work. This is one you won’t want to miss. ** Links & Resources ** NOAA : https://www.noaa.gov/ Dr. Carol Lichfield: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Litchfield  Dr.Rita Caldwell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_R._Colwell United States Coast and Geodetic Survey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Coast_and_Geodetic_Survey  National Marine Sanctuary Program: https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/ Blue Frontier: bluefront.org Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.
