I am writing to demand that you immediately intervene to halt the National Science Foundation's dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative. Decommissioning these 900+ deep-sea sensors directly compromises our national security, strips away critical early warning systems for natural disasters, and actively puts Oregon lives at risk. This system costs very little but is so important to the safety and health of all Oregonians. Destroying this system is dangerous and cost very little to operate. This is not fiscal responsibility, this will reckless endangerment that will cost lives and far more money than it saves.
