NOAA does a lot of good and essential things, like weather monitoring and forecasting, that must continue, but NOAA also has a lot of wasteful inefficiencies that should be eliminated.
For example: The NOAA Corp, a military uniformed service, of toy soldiers, to crew the NOAA ships should be eliminated.
The NOAA ships and ocean research should probably by outsourced to WHOI, Scripts, Universities, and private companies (I hate to say it, but - Crowley, Chouest, etc).
Since Musk is in the Space business, that’s probably where his focus will be.
MARAD is a poster boy for do nothing government agencies. It needs to be in the crosshairs. The ship model collection can be moved to the Smithsonian.
