Ocean Acidification Data
Ocean Acidification Data Stewardship
The National Centers for Environmental Information serves our data through their Ocean Acidification Data Stewardship Project
NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) scientists collect a variety of data to understand changing ocean chemistry and its impacts on marine organisms and ecosystems. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) serves as the NOAA Ocean Acidification data management focal point through its Ocean Acidification Data Stewardship (OADS) project.
Ocean Carbon & Acidification Data Portal
NOAA OAP funds the Ocean Carbon and Acidification System Project, building a collaborative approach with shared responsibilities among scientists, data managers, and data partners.
OCADS ensures data collected from OAP-funded research and other sources is archived and accessible for ocean carbon and ocean acidification analyses, forecasting capabilities, and better assessments of marine resource vulnerability. OCADS project is envisioned as the best data management services to support regional to global ocean carbon cycling and OA research. It builds upon a U.S. National OA data management and integration service required by the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act of 2009.

Our Communities of Practice
Buoys & Moorings
here are currently 19 OAP-supported buoys in coastal, open-ocean and coral reef waters which contribute to NOAA's Ocean Acidification Monitoring Program, with other deployments planned.
We work closely with coastal state governments, many of which are now engaged in developing their respective responses to ocean acidification including the states of Washington, Alaska, California, Oregon, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maryland. As part of our partnership with state efforts, the OAP is supporting the development of regional coastal acidification networks (CANs). We also work closely with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Ocean Conservancy, Island Institute and COMPASS on a variety of outreach, communications, assessment and networking projects.
