"The European Commission launched the OceanEye program on June 3, 2026, investing €92 million from Horizon Europe to bolster ocean observation. This follows the US National Science Foundation's decision to dismantle its $368 million ocean observation network, citing funding cuts under the Trump administration. The EU aims to fill the gap but with a smaller budget."
