Defunding of the Aquarius Project that studies in the deep ocean

Created by M.C. on July 22, 2012

On Friday July 20th NPR reported a story about the underwater oceanic lab known as Aquarius. This lab is vital not only for our research in how we are reshaping the planet by pollution, by also how the deep sea affects everything on land.
This project is due to be defunded by Congress on Sept, 1st of this year. The project, lab, scientists, and all the amazing work they are doing will be stopped. The project is only 3 million dollars a year but in the sense of importance it is priceless.

PLEASE DO NOT LET THESE CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN KILL THIS PROJECT.

If you have a moment I am including the link that would allow you to hear this story first hand. http://sciencefriday.com/segment/07/20/2012/its-budget-sunk-undersea-lab...
