>The ocean observation system began operating in 2016 and was expected to continue for 25 years... It cost $48 million annually to operate the network.

> The Coastal Endurance Array off the Pacific Northwest is the first to go, and removal operations at that site are already in process according to the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).

> Instead of abandoning the buoys and subsea landers in place, NSF will allocate ship-days to physically remove OOI equipment
