Just for our retribution watch.

Out of 34 Sea Grant programs, Maine’s is the only one targeted for elimination by Trump. This isn’t about trans people playing sports. It’s clearly retribution for the Governor standing up to Trump, it doesn’t matter what the policy disagreement is. www.mainecoastfishermen.org/post/press-r...

I hope that they plan to keep some semblance of a country, and they will demonstrate that early when these cases get all the way to the court.
In 2023, Maine Sea Grant’s federal investment of $1.5 million resulted in an economic benefit of $23.5 million. That means that for every dollar spent on Maine Sea Grant, our coastal communities get the value of $15.60.
Obviously we know that, but withholding funds for one program because of outside actions isn't a thing.
