Ocean acidification in the California Current: predicting impacts on food webs and economies within a context of climate change
Posted on EPOCA: 19 Mar 2013 — Project status: This project began in January, 2012 and is projected to be completed in December, 2015 We are supporting the development of a management model to predict impacts of ocean acidification on food webs and the fishing economy in the California Current.
Ocean acidification goes beyond damaging shells
Posted on EPOCA: 15 Mar 2013 As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, ocean acidification continues to threaten marine life. New research from the University of Washingtonreveals that ocean acidification won’t only affect the shells of marine organisms. Increasing acidity in the ocean makes it harder for organisms to build and maintain calcified parts.
Ocean acidification weakens mussels’ grip
