This week, NOPC joined ocean advocates to deliver a clear message to Congress: NOAA saves lives.

NOAA plays a crucial role in protecting against threats to our nation’s marine protected areas.

Say NO to cutting NOAA. Say YES to saving lives and our ocean.

Thank you @rephuffman.bsky.social and @repvalhoyle.bsky.social for speaking out against the Undersea Cable Protection Act. This bill allows tech companies to disrupt delicate habitat in our marine sanctuaries with NO accountability.

Deep sea mining threatens our oceans & American Samoa's way of life. 🚨 The proposed project off American Samoa is reckless & unnecessary. Speak up before July 16! Submit your comment to BOEM and tell them to halt deep sea mining plans. #DefendTheDeep #ProtectOurOcean

This Mother’s Day we celebrate mother figures everywhere, including the ocean.

@neaq's aerial survey over the Northeast Canyons & Seamounts spotted whale moms w/their babies, including a pilot whale “daycare” with 4 calves!

@POTUS must not remove protections for this area.

Last night, Trump signed an executive order attempting to
fast track deep sea mining permit approval despite
the economic, environmental, and social risks. This reckless action could cause irreversible damage to life forms we haven’t even had the opportunity to discover yet. #DefendTheDeep

#DYK 94% of the Earth’s wildlife lives in the ocean.

🐙We know of over 240,000 oceanic species. Millions more may yet be undiscovered.

🌊We have explored and documented only 5% of the ocean so far. Let’s keep working to understand and preserve it for the future.

🌪️Tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires move fast.

☔Having the most accurate, up-to-the-minute information when disaster strikes is essential.

☀️That's why @NOAA's National Weather Service exists.

Tell DOGE not to dismantle America's essential services.
