FY25 Ocean Acidification Coastal Research: Uniting Investigations and Shipboard Experiments (OA CRUISE) Submit a proposal to complement core observing activities on upcoming East Coast Ocean Acidification Cruise (ECOA-4). The coastal research cruise targets U.S. Coastal Large Marine Ecosystems on the North American East Coast from the Scotian Shelf to the
NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program announces five projects expanding observational and experimental capacity on two coastal ocean acidification cruises.
The NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP), in partnership with NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program is pleased to announce the awardees for the FY24 Coastal and Ocean Carbon Observing Optimization Studies funding opportunity. The expected total NOAA investment of $3,018,812 over three years aims to optimize sampling strategies
Dr. Sarah Cooley is our next Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) Director. She comes to us as the former Senior Director of Climate Science at Ocean Conservancy. Dr. Cooley brings an exceptional arsenal of scientific expertise, communication prowess, interdisciplinary collaboration and leadership, only matched by her passion for ocean science. Dr.
Join us for a free virtual workshop on our Regional Resiliency & Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) projects on October 9, 2024 at 1pm ET. Our recently funded RVA projects will share results and facilitate connections between current project leaders and those interested in applying to our upcoming FY25 Regional Vulnerability Assessment
The Coastal Acidification Networks (CANs) collectively submitted a Commitment to the international Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability (OARS) Programme in May 2024. OARS, a UN Ocean Decade supported program, is dedicated to minimizing and addressing the impacts of ocean acidification through enhanced cooperation at all levels and is aligned with
Major actions for the Ocean Climate Action Plan The Ocean Climate Action Plan (OCAP), released by the Biden-Harris Administration in March 2023, serves as a roadmap for taking ambitious actions on ocean climate priorities. Within the OCAP, marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) is a main theme under the goal of
The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) announces a fellowship that will provide an immersive, real-world learning opportunity while also helping build diversity within the field of ocean and coastal acidification (OCA). This fellowship intends to build on the activities outlined in the MACAN 2022-2024 Workplan. This fellowship is designed to first
Today is January 8th marking a global “OA Day of Action” started by the Ocean Foundation to increase ocean acidification awareness and recognize 8.1, the current global average pH of the ocean. To recognize this day, NOAA OAP is proud to be launch an ocean acidification communications project with the Aquarium Conservation
The NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) works to prepare society to adapt to the consequences of ocean acidification and conserve marine ecosystems as acidification occurs. Learn more about the human connections and adaptation strategies from these efforts.
Adaptation approaches fostered by the OAP include:
Using models and research to understand the sensitivity of organisms and ecosystems to ocean acidification to make predictions about the future, allowing communities and industries to prepare
Using these models and predictions as tools to facilitate management strategies that will protect marine resources and communities from future changes
Developing innovative tools to help monitor ocean acidification and mitigate changing ocean chemistry locally
Drive fuel-efficient vehicles or choose public transportation. Choose your bike or walk! Don't sit idle for more than 30 seconds. Keep your tires properly inflated.
Eat local- this helps cut down on production and transport! Reduce your meat and dairy. Compost to avoid food waste ending up in the landfill
Make energy-efficient choices for your appliances and lighting. Heat and cool efficiently! Change your air filters and program your thermostat, seal and insulate your home, and support clean energy sources
Reduce your use of fertilizers, Improve sewage treatment and run off, and Protect and restore coastal habitats
You've taken the first step to learn more about ocean acidification - why not spread this knowledge to your community?
Every community has their unique culture, economy and ecology and what’s at stake from ocean acidification may be different depending on where you live. As a community member, you can take a larger role in educating the public about ocean acidification. Creating awareness is the first step to taking action. As communities gain traction, neighboring regions that share marine resources can build larger coalitions to address ocean acidification. Here are some ideas to get started:
