Big Cuts in NOAA's Marine Sanctuary Program Budget
- "Another problem is that, while supportive of the [Northwest Hawaiian Islands Marine National] Monument, the White House and Congress have cut the rest of NOAA's Marine Sanctuary program by 25 percent, from $51 million to $36 million a year, since 2005. We need to keep educating people that, like our two and a half billion dollar a year National Parks, one of the glories of America could be great wilderness parks in the sea." - excerpt from the Blue Notes #33 newsletter dated 3/12/2007.
