The Trump administration is initiating job cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), targeting 10% of its workforce. Approximately 1,029 positions will be eliminated, a significant reduction following prior cuts since Trump took office. The agency plays a vital role in monitoring weather-related threats, climate change, and fisheries management, but these cuts could undermine its effectiveness. Critics, including former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, warn that such reductions could lead to a loss of critical capabilities essential for disaster response and environmental management.
The Trump administration is starting another round of job cuts - this one more than 1,000 - at the nation's weather, ocean and fisheries agency.
This is not government efficiency; it is the first steps toward eradication. There is no way to make these kinds of cuts without losing critical capabilities.
