And to OMAO (Office of Marine and Aviation Operations), whose fleet of research vessels and aircraft bring the vast and mysterious ocean within reach, delivering the data that underpins every NOAA mission—your work is irreplaceable.

Your work is the foundation of public safety, economic resilience, and environmental stewardship.
But let me be clear: if NOAA is allowed to be dismantled, there is no replacing it.
No private company, university, or state agency can fill the void. Businesses don't forecast hurricanes for public good. Universities don't deploy aircraft into storm eyes to improve warnings. States can't launch satellites tracking global climate change. Only NOAA performs these vital functions.
Without NOAA, more lives will be lost in predictable storms. More fishing communities will collapse without sustainable management. More businesses will suffer from supply disruptions due to untracked climate disasters. Americans will be abandoned to a future of uncertainty.
To those who believe in science, in the protection of our natural world, in the power of knowledge to shape a better future—do not be silent. Speak out.
To lose NOAA would be to silence one of the ocean’s strongest voices—the guardian that warns of tempests before they strike, that safeguards the fragile balance of life beneath the waves, that holds back the tide of ignorance in a world that depends upon the sea yet scarcely understands it #SaveNOAA

And neither should we.
