June is National Ocean Month and this week marks World Ocean Day, celebrating the precious resource that touches every aspect of our lives. That includes forecasting coastal change, tracking storm surge and coastal flooding, and measuring river levels and inland flooding across entire regions. USGS has a range of comprehensive scientific capabilities that can inform decision-makers, emergency managers and communities as they prepare for, respond to and recover from a storm. Geological Survey will provide science to help protect lives and property if a storm threatens American shores. The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season has arrived, and through November the U.S. The move is part of a historic $16 billion through the President’s Investing in America agenda to address legacy pollution across the nation that will create good-paying union jobs, catalyze economic growth and revitalization. Methane emissions from many of these unplugged wells presents a serious safety hazard, and contributes to climate change. Interior this week announced a nearly $64 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to clean up more than 300 orphaned oil and gas well sites in national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and on other public lands and waters. That's part of a joint effort by the Departments of the Interior and Justice to develop recommendations to guide Congress and federal agencies to combat the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples and human trafficking. They also took part in a public hearing convened by the Not Invisible Act Commission. They hosted the seventh stop on “The Road to Healing” - that's a year-long tour across the country to provide Native survivors of the federal Indian boarding school system and their descendants an opportunity to share their experiences.
