This paper shows that every dollar spent on improving hurricane forecasts pays for itself many times over in reduced damages: www.nber.org/papers/w32548 Cutting funding for weather forecasting does not save money - it costs billions in addition to putting lives at risk

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Endangered Rice's Whale At Risk As Protection Efforts Are Rescinded
After BOEM rescinded its protection efforts aimed at slowing ship traffic, there is little to save the whale from extinction.

This octopus is a sucker for jellies 🐙✨️⁠ ⁠ The seven-armed octopus, Haliphron atlanticus, has only been observed by MBARI’s ROVs three times in more than three decades. This one was holding the bell of an egg-yolk jellyfish in its arms—perhaps using its meal for defense or to help catch more prey.

"Now is the time for science, not silence." The war on science isn’t just politics, it’s our planet's future & the stakes have never been higher.🦈🪸🌊 As climate scientists, we must advocate & defend evidence-based policy.📄🌏 #ClimateAction #ScienceMatters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org

Scientists as political advocates
Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and...

Advocating to get a library card if you don't already have one. It is paid-for-by-your-tax-dollars free. Just having a card is great but I also check out more than I can get through. Impulse control issues aside, the ones I check out are more likely to avoid the removal sort.

Caller identification and characterization of individual humpback whale acoustic behaviour | Royal Society Open Science
Acoustic recording tags provide fine-scale data linking acoustic signalling with individual behaviour; however, when an animal is in a group, it is challenging to tease apart calls of conspecifics and identify which individuals produce each call. This, ...
