Fifth Report on Federally Funded Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Activities
Ocean acidification, the reduction in ocean pH caused primarily by uptake of anthropogenically released carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, will likely cause serious impacts on marine ecosystems and the services those systems provide to society. This document summarizes Federal activities on ocean acidification (OA) in Fiscal Years (FY) 2016 and 2017. It is organized
