The Importance of NOAA: A Critical Look at Project 2025 and the Threat to America’s Environmental Intelligence Agency

As the Trump administration continues to push forward with Project 2025, it has become evident that one of its main objectives is to dismantle the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This has been achieved through the cutting of crucial research and grant programs, the termination of external advisory boards that provide science-based recommendations, and the harassment and firing of employees. The administration has even attempted to close important observing systems, state marine advisory programs, and prestigious research labs within NOAA. The recent departure of over 1,000 employees, many of whom were pressured to retire or fired without cause, further highlights the administration’s aggressive approach towards dismantling NOAA.

Now, Republican leaders in Congress are moving quickly to pass a budget bill that will eliminate funding for observing, mapping, and community grant programs, close regional data portals, and lay off hundreds of scientists. The proposed FY26 budget is expected to be even more damaging, with plans to decimate NOAA research, cut funding for weather satellites, and transfer parts of the National Marine Fisheries Service to the Department of the Interior. In essence, the Trump administration is dismantling NOAA piece by piece, selling off its parts for profit.

The Evolution of NOAA

NOAA’s origins can be traced back to the early 19th century, with various components and legislated duties scattered across different government departments. It wasn’t until President Richard Nixon’s reorganization plan in 1970 that NOAA was officially established, bringing together the scientific, technological, and administrative resources needed for better protection of life and property from natural hazards. The agency was tasked with developing a national oceanic and atmospheric research and development program, as well as collecting and disseminating oceanographic data, among other responsibilities.

The Integrated Approach of One NOAA

NOAA operates under the concept of “One NOAA,” which emphasizes a collaborative and integrated approach across its six Line Offices. This approach allows NOAA to provide science, service, and stewardship to protect life and property while enhancing the US economy. Former NOAA Administrator Vice Admiral Conrad Lautenbacher likened the agency’s operation to an orchestra, where each instrument plays its part in contributing to a full symphony.

NOAA’s Vital Services

NOAA plays a critical role in addressing the nation’s challenges and needs across various sectors, such as weather forecasting, economic development, public health, and environmental intelligence. The agency’s integrated services rely on a combination of observations, research, and partnerships to deliver timely and informative data to the public, businesses, and communities.

Protecting America’s Environmental Intelligence

NOAA serves as America’s environmental intelligence agency, providing essential data and information on ecosystem health, economic development, public health, and more. The agency’s ability to integrate its data and science across different offices is crucial for delivering effective services that benefit individuals, communities, and businesses.

Take Action to Preserve NOAA

  • Recognize the importance of NOAA in your community and how its services impact you locally.
  • Inform others about the vital role of One NOAA in serving communities every day.
  • Urge your representatives to support science and preserve funding for critical NOAA programs in the upcoming budget reconciliation process.
  • Advocate for the reinstatement of federal science advisory committees within NOAA to provide expert review and recommendations.
  • Share information about One NOAA with your network to raise awareness about the agency’s importance.

As presidents have considered reorganizing NOAA in the past, it has become clear that the agency’s interconnectedness and value to commerce and communities make it a crown jewel within the Department of Commerce. Any changes to NOAA should be based on thoughtful analysis, expert advice, and consultation with stakeholders, rather than hasty decisions that threaten the agency’s integrity and effectiveness.
