Small #ocean swirls may have an outsized affect on #climate, #NASA #satellite shows
Surface Water and Ocean Topography (#SWOT) satellite lets scientists observe small-scale #eddies and waves for the first time. Its Ka-band Radar Interferometer scans 120-km-wide swaths of sea surface height, delivering two-dimensional measurements with far greater resolution and lower noise than earlier altimeters. The satellite's 21-day orbit enables repeated global coverage.

Papahanaumokuakea is/was the largest protected area in the US, home to 70% of coral reefs in the US. Trump's EO lifts the ban on fishing there. He is also considering fast-tracking seabed mining.

Another article on the same, but this one includes a video and a map of the areas to become unprotected.
As usual, the fishing industry and the politicians it lobbies are short sighted, profit driven and have no concern for the sustainability of the diversity of life in the ocean.
Trump executive orders roll back ocean fisheries protections in Pacific

Disguising it as economic opportunity for Pacific Islanders is another lie, just like trickle down.
