I knew the Alaska senators would save it

@AutopoieticErgodicity The NSF started the OOI system a decade ago to help communities prepare for significant weather events, predict fisheries disasters, and bolster maritime safety efforts. In Alaska, the Global Station Papa Array has been instrumental in doing just that as our coastal communities work to adapt and become more resilient amidst an ever-changing marine environment,” said Murkowski. “I’m grateful to my colleagues in the Senate for approving this legislation unanimously and helping to ensure that stakeholders and industry experts are consulted to keep our scientific researchers, our fishermen, and our communities equipped with this essential information.”

The Saving the OOI Act is cosponsored by U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jack Reed (D-RI), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Patty Murray (D-WA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).

Isn't decommissioning necessary stuff, and then needing to recommission it later going to end up costing more not less?
