Report: Trump Budget Will Kill Sea Grant Funds

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has stopped funding for the Maine Sea Grant, affecting the state's marine industry for over 50 years, according to officials from the University of Maine System.
The funding termination immediately halts over $4.5 million intended for the Maine Sea Grant, according to UMS spokesperson Samantha Warren.
Maine Sea Grant director Gayle Zydlewski stated the funding cut is devastating and threatens jobs and research crucial for Maine's marine economy.
Representative Chellie Pingree criticized the decision, saying it shows a lack of understanding of the grant's importance for fisheries and called it "shortsighted and heartless.
