Where does it say they did a study? Here is the link to the actual post on NOAA's National Ocean Website.

Hardly a study! Somebody took five minutes to liven up the website for a couple days. Hardly a gross waste of money in this case.


Nice to see some humor out of Washington if you ask me.

Curses... all these decades I've been searching for something that doesn't exist? Oh, wait... it's the government telling us this. Never mind.
