Scientists and fishermen in the United States are calling on federal agencies to maintain funding for a deep-ocean observation system that tracks conditions in waters important to both research and commercial fishing. Supporters say the system provides valuable long-term data on ocean health, and that cutting it would leave researchers and industry without critical information about changing deep-sea conditions.
