Now more than ever, it is vital for federal workers to know their rights. Learn more using our federal science resource guide here:

Probably not.

“The fact that we’re seeing such a strong uptick in public understanding that climate change is harming the health of Americans, we fundamentally are optimistic that that will build the public will for climate action”

DYK the #GreatLakes hold 6 quadrillion gallons of fresh accessible surface water, 20% of the world's total? And if you drained Lake Superior, it could cover North *and* South America 1 ft (30 cm) deep? And a drop of water stays in Lake Superior 173-191 years? Pretty cool. Worth protecting. ❤️💧

Many reasons why the feds need to keep science staff. Invasive species & water know no boundaries. The quagga mussel is in at least 17 states & Canada. There needs to be strong cooperative programs & research to deal with invasives. 🌊🌊 @alltooclearfilm.bsky.social www.wpr.org/environment/...

President Trump’s firing the people who watch out for hurricanes and warn us when they're coming, the people who keep the polluters from breaking the law. Without them, there’ll be more kids with asthma, more cancer, more billion-dollar disasters #StandStrongForClimate

YOU CAN'T DRINK OIL and our #GreatLakes are irreplaceable. Oppose Trump's EO cleanwater.org/actions/prot... Contact Gov Whitmer/EGLE cleanwater.org/actions/stop... #ShutDownLine5 #NOtunnel

Methane pollution protections & energy efficiency standards have already been voted down, and more safeguards are under attack. Send a clear message to your members of Congress to hold polluters accountable and stand firm to protect our health and environment: act.cleanwater.org/page/165919/...

“It is a very important natural resource, it is a very important source of recreation and it is a vital source of commerce to this nation. Degrading the ability to monitor and research these #GreatLakes can have no positive benefit to this nation.” www.greatlakesnow.org/2025/03/grea...

We have a special responsibility to protect these Great Lakes. Federal cuts to Great Lakes research will hurt our fisheries, increase the damage from flooding, and slow down efforts to clean up contaminated areas.

This is unconstitutional. A violation of the First Amendment. A violation of federalism and the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutionally vague. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful.

If you’re connected with NOAA’s GLERL, or other Great Lakes teams affected by federal cuts + shifts, I’d love to hear from you. I’m a ProPublica reporter in Michigan with a longtime interest in water. Background: www.propublica.org/people/anna-... and www.annaclark.net Signal: annaleighclark.14

Wholeheartedly wishing all the people who took us here all the illnesses associated with harmful algal blooms.

This is an INCREDIBLY important service. NOAA GLERL comms provides critical, timely, & trusted information on the health & status of our waters. Waters that in Michigan, provide our drinking water and SO much more. And it's ending for the foreseeable future. So billionaires can get more tax cuts.

Michigan lost 37 USFS workers last week. "The layoffs exempt wildland firefighters, but local union representative Rick Davis said losing his coworkers still hurts firefighting efforts since many are certified to fight fires and participate in controlled burns." radio.wcmu.org/local-region...
