Rae Taylor-Burns, Courtney Cochran, Kelly Ferron, Madison Harris, Courtney Thomas, Alexa Fredston, Bruce E Kendall, 2020 Abstract Ocean acidification is a global issue with particular regional significance in the California Current System, where social, economic, and ecological impacts are already occurring. Although ocean acidification is a concern that unifies the

Rapid deep ocean deoxygenation and acidification threaten life on Northeast Pacific seamounts
Anthropogenic climate change is causing our oceans to lose oxygen and become more acidic at an unprecedented rate, threatening marine ecosystems and their associated animals. In deep‐sea environments, where conditions have typically changed over geological time scales, the associated animals, adapted to these stable conditions, are expected to be highly
West Coast OA Plan
West Coast Region Acidification Research Abstract The West Coast Region includes the U.S. coastal waters off of Washington, Oregon, and California including the continental shelf and inland seas. These waters are influenced by adjacent regions and are collectively referred to as the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). This region
Why Acidification SCIENCE Matters?
Ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes acidification represents the changes in water chemistry resulting in ecological impacts with cascading social and economic effects. With a $1 billion U.S. shellfish industry and hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk, understanding acidification in the oceans and Great Lakes is important to protecting our economies and well being. This plan [https://oceanacidification.noaa.gov/ResearchPlan2020/Download.aspx] focuses on acidification research to
