The Trump administration is disbanding various expert advisory committees related to space, climate, and marine resource management, claiming they are no longer needed. This decision follows an executive order mandating the termination of federal advisory committees not legally required. Nancy Hann from NOAA noted that these committees, which have provided expert guidance since their establishment, have served their purpose. The affected committees include those on climate services, marine fisheries, and coastal area management, which were created to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in addressing significant environmental challenges.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has determined that several expert advisory committees focused on marine, climate, and space issues are no longer necessary.
The Trump administration's directive to disband these committees comes after the agency's assessment that they have "served their purpose and should be terminated."
The affected committees, including those on space and climate change, provided critical guidance but are now viewed as redundant by the current administration.
The executive order from President Trump emphasizes eliminating advisory groups unless mandated by law, affecting organizations established to aid in managing natural resources.
