During the first week of June, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced $3.3 billion in funding for NOAA under the Inflation Reduction Act. Through IRA, NOAA Fisheries will invest in strengthening the agency’s core mission to provide science-based management and conservation of the nation’s marine resources as we confront climate change. The move was welcomed by the fishing community that has long advocated for enhanced NOAA Fisheries funding to address climate impacts.
