This past week, Federal authorities announced that the second critically endangered North Atlantic right whale found dead in the last month showed injuries caused by a collision with a ship. As Representative Garret Graves said, “We can do better ... technologies exist today where we can do real-time monitoring.”

RDML Tim Gallaudet (USN ret.) features on the Military Veterans Podcast. He discusses joining the U.S Navy and moving towards being stationed on a Hydrographic Survey Vessel - the USNS Harkness. He also served at Naval Station Rota in Spain, as well as USS Peleliu and USS Kitty Hawk. USS Kitty Hawk deployment saw him be part of a team that conducted some of the first strikes into Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.

China appears determined to reinforce its role as the world’s top emitter of greenhouse gasses, setting a record peak this year, falsely reporting its actual emissions, and building six times as many coal plants last year as the rest of the world combined. For an administration that claims to have the most ambitious climate and environmental agenda in history, failing to hold such a bad actor accountable is both hypocritical and harmful.

Last week Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro released his updated strategic guidance on the long-term modernization of Navy. Nowhere in the guidance is there a direct mention of China and our urgent need to outcompete that country in the race for maritime superiority. The Navy’s climate approach should focus on adaption to the impacts of climate change in ways that make it more effective in modern warfighting.

The health of American coral reefs has been at the forefront of national news this summer due to the impacts of a record-setting marine heatwave off Florida. Despite dedicated efforts, much more needs to be done. NOAA needs to massively scale up the funding and level of effort on the order of NASA’s Artemis mission to the moon.

Proposed legislation to protect several species of organisms affected by vessel strikes was pitted against the possible negative impact on economic viability of recreational and commercial fisheries, pilots and pilot boat crew, and recreational boaters. However, NOAA can simultaneously save right whales and accommodate America’s maritime community with commercial technology that is available now.

As the world watches and waits for Ukraine’s spring offensive against Russia, it may surprise many observers that a deciding factor in the delay is related to climate change. CEO RDML Tim Gallaudet discusses the effect of climate on key battles in history.

In this episode, host RDML Tim Gallaudet dives into shipwreck ecology with several experts and students on the topic. They discuss how shipwrecks sustain a wide variety of sealife and contribute to important elements of the American Blue Economy such as recreational and commercial fishing and scuba dive tourism.

Host Jon Olson talks with our CEO, retired US Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, former Oceanographer of the Navy about the role the world’s oceans play in American national security interests.

On this episode of The American Blue Economy Podcast, host RDML Tim Gallaudet explores space – specifically satellite technology - in the American Blue Economy. He is joined by 4 world-class leaders in space technologies used for ocean understanding, conservation, and sustainable use.

Many Americans aren’t familiar with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), but its programs benefit each citizen every single day. Codifying NOAA’s authority in legislation is necessary because the agency presently owes its existence to an executive order signed by President Nixon in 1970. While NOAA has enjoyed bipartisan support since then, executive orders are not guaranteed to endure over successive administrations.
