Strategy for NOAA Carbon Dioxide Removal Research
This document is intended to serve as a reference for exploration of carbon removal research at NOAA. It provides strategic direction to relevant labs and programs in multiple line offices within NOAA. The goal has been to assemble as much information as possible in order tofacilitate conversations about Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) at a high

Federal Ocean Carbon Observing Landscape Analysis
This landscape analysis seeks to identify the “who” and “where” of United States in situ global ocean carbon observing, analyzing where gaps in these efforts remain. Aircraft and satellites collecting atmospheric carbon measurements (and other parameters necessary for carbon flux calculations) were not included in this analysis focused on in situ observations. This study was

NOAA OAR Ocean Carbon Observing Plan
The intent of this Science Plan is to outline OAR’s goals related to ocean carbon observing, set priorities, and enable coordination with intra-agency, interagency, and international partners. The three goals of this 10-year Science Plan support OAR’s long term vision to advance carbon cycle science; improve ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes models and product development;

Bering Sea Red King Crab and Ocean Acidification
Studies in the lab have shown the sensitivity level of red king crab (RKC) to ocean acidification varies across different life stages. Here we look at exposure, vulnerability, and implications at each life stage based on what we know in the Bering Sea.

Ocean Acidification and Pacific Oysters in Southeast Alaska
As ocean acidification (OA) research expands, researchers and Alaska shellfish growers can work together to tackle questions, fill monitoring gaps, and collaborate on adaptation strategies. FAQs about OA in Southeast Alaska and strategies to manage potential concerns are highlighted in this flier. We hope this opens the door to conversation between shellfish growers and researchers.

Alaska Ocean Acidification Network Overview
The Alaska Ocean Acidification Network was developed to expand the understanding of OA processes and consequences in Alaska, as well as potential adaptation and mitigation actions. The network helps connect scientists and coastal communities to identify knowledge gaps, recommend regional priorities, share data, and disseminate information throughout Alaska. Learn more about the network and how

Alaska Salmon and Ocean Acidification
For Alaskans dependent on salmon, understanding how species may fare in a higher-acidity environment is critical. The cultural and economic implications of the future of salmon depend on our ability to make well-informed decisions and to adapt to changing conditions. This flier explains the effects of ocean acidification on Alaskan salmon and the research efforts

Acidification & Estuaries: Connecting Science to Management
Hosted by the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Acidification, this series is starting a conversation about the most important research gaps in acidification and estuaries for the federal government to address. The third webinar will discuss examples of where acidification science can inform coastal management decisions to serve community and industry needs.
