Support Safer, Cleaner Shipping
No matter where we live, many of us rely on global shipping for everyday products. And while shipping plays a large role in the U.S. economy … it also plays a large role in exacerbating climate change.
The Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) Program is incredibly important as it takes on projects that:
💨 help clean up air pollution from ships and ports
🔇 reduce underwater noise from ships, protecting wildlife like whales
☢️ prevent toxic wastewater and invasive species from threatening ocean habitats and coastal environments
But the META Program’s funding is at risk. The Trump administration’s budget eliminates the program, an action that is counterproductive to its own goal of achieving U.S. maritime dominance.Add your name now and call for $15 million in funding for the META program as authorized by Congress.
