Unpacking Trump’s Ocean RollbacksIn the latest Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast David and Vicki talk with former Ocean Conservancy Chief Scientist and policy expert George Leonard about the Trump administration’s approach to our public seas. In taking a closer look at the BBB (‘Big Beautiful’ or ‘Big Brother’) mega-bill that Congress just passed, George breaks down many of the vital services from ocean observation and weather labs to protection of salmon, parks in the sea and public education, fishing regulation, beach pollution warning systems, deep-sea exploration and coastal management that will be gutted or terminated under this law. Listening to area experts like George you realize not only will this legislation blow a hole in the deficit and untax the rich, it will expand offshore oil drilling and put more mercury in tuna. It may even mark the end of right whales along with many of our own rights. So, tune in to hear what George has to say about Trump 2.0 policies and his major new law that treats the Ocean as little more than a gas station and a garbage dump. Also, hear what he thinks you can still do about it. ** Links & Resources **Blue Frontier: (http://www.bluefront.org)bluefront.org (http://www.bluefront.org) — Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Blue Frontier on Substack: https://davidhelvarg.substack.com/Inland Ocean Coalition: (http://www.inlandoceancoalition.org)inlandoceancoalition.org (http://www.inlandoceancoalition.org) — Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios: (http://www.fluidstudios.org)fluidstudios.org (http://www.fluidstudios.org) — Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.
