The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is essential to protecting our nation’s ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes. The agency carries out programs to steward coastal resources, conserve marine habitat, protect wildlife, and monitor our weather and climate. NOAA also provides critical and timely warnings to protect communities from hurricanes, tsunamis, and other extreme weather events. These programs are fundamental to public safety and everyone who visits the beach or cares about the coast!
Right now, NOAA’s programs are under threat!
The Trump administration is targeting the critical work of NOAA, including the agency’s staffing, programs, and budget. Such attacks will impede life-saving weather forecasting and undermine the protection of our ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes, making them more vulnerable to the impacts of development, pollution, and climate change. Despite ongoing attacks on NOAA, your continued advocacy with your representatives in Congress is working! Current budget proposals in Congress for many key NOAA programs are at least level funding for FY2026.
Please use the form below to contact your representatives in support of NOAA, including sufficient funding for ocean, coastal, & Great Lakes management!
Members of Congress must continue to defend NOAA from these unwarranted attacks. Please urge your representatives to oppose the administration’s efforts to dismantle NOAA and to support adequate funding for the agency in the upcoming year. Investing in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes management will help ensure lasting stewardship of these resources while providing major benefits to communities, Tribes, businesses, beaches, and the American public.
