There is. He should be relieved of his position, ASAP, awaiting court martial, and no ticker tape parade like MacArthur got. Trump has had a lot of experience at firing people. Going public like he did, is especially low down. Trump needs to make an example out him, before this stuff gets out of hand.
If these Admirals and Generals can't be trusted with simple things like this, how can they be trusted if we are in a war for national survival? The dude has got to go NOW

We’re on the Brink of a Major Environmental Disaster. Are We Ready?
The Trump administration is increasing the risk of a serious accident—and a key position in charge of disaster preparedness remains unfilled.

Admiral Paul Zukunft, the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, knows oil spills. As the lead coordinator for the government’s response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, he directed tens of thousands of responders as they attempted a herculean task: recovering 200 million gallons of crude oil from the Gulf of Mexico. Today, Zukunft admits that task was impossible to complete, and that’s why he knows that drilling for oil in the freezing, unpredictable Arctic Ocean would be far more dangerous than drilling in the Gulf. “I can assure you that if there is an oil spill [in the Arctic], we’re not going to recover all that oil,” he told an audience at the Naval Heritage Center in Washington, D.C. last month. “We don’t know what Mother Nature would do and we don’t know the long term impacts to one of the most pristine environments in the world. Its not an area we want to oil and then find out after the fact.”
