Bush Proposes Coastal Conservation Budget Increase
 President Bush proposed a 8% increase today for the $1.75 billion federal budget for coastal and marine conservation programs. NOAA would be the primary beneficiary of the additional $143 million in federal funding and plans to use their $123 million to do more research and improve ocean protections. The National Science Foundation and the US Geological Survey would split the remaining $20 million for improved research, sea floor mapping, forecast models, and water quality monitoring. More on the proposed budget increase is available from USA Today.
