NOAA's Proposed Recovery Plan to Help Create Jobs, Improve Coastal Communities and Protect Habitat 


NOAA has submitted to Congress a proposed spending plan for the $830 million received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) appropriation. The goal of the ARRA is to create jobs, strengthen the economy, and restore our environment. NOAA's investments under the ARRA include facility construction, funding for the NOAA Pacific Islands Regional Center in Honolulu, a new fisheries laboratory in La Jolla, CA, smaller projects for the National Weather Service field offices in Fairbanks, Alaska, and a new fisheries research vessel. Funding will also be available to strengthen NOAA's supercomputing capability and climate data record development - critical to improving climate modeling and continuing research into ways to mitigate climate change and habitat restoration.

What they should do is use some of the money to get knowledgable researchers for the fishing regs.  rofla

But that would never happen.  rgmn rgmn

We will have to continue spending our money for the research necessary.  nosmly
