Trump Scraps Obama-Era Protections for Oceans
More of the constant Trump administration efforts to ruin the national/global environments in order to increase [already obscene] corporate profits.
6/22/18
President Trump has done away with Obama-era policies aimed at protecting the world’s oceans and instead issued an executive order calling for marine environments to be used to promote economic growth. Trump’s order downsizes the Ocean Policy Committee established by former President Barack Obama in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Several regional planning bodies will also be eliminated.
