Funding opportunity: Regional ecosystem prediction program: Potential impacts of ocean acidification on fishery ecosystems

Posted on EPOCA: 16 Dec 2011  NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CSCOR is accepting proposals which address the potential ecosystem impacts of ocean acidification to fishery ecosystems of US waters. Research should focus on the development of ecological models (linked to biogeochemical models if possible) which can be used to predict population and/or ecosystem level
