Oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 released by humans is altering global seawater chemistry in ways that will affect marine biota, ecosystems, and biogeochemistry. Forecasting these impacts requires an integrated understanding of the linkages among ecosystem components and feedbacks to climate. This website provides a clearinghouse of ocean acidification news and information to support the scientific research community, and it is maintained by the OCB Project Office, with oversight from the Ocean Acidification Subcommittee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) program.

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION HEADLINES

  • Paul G. Allen Ocean Challenge, as part of a larger ocean health initiative, and in collaboration with The Oceanography Society, is offering a $10,000 prize for the most promising new science-based concept for mitigating environmental and/or societal impacts of ocean acidification (application deadline: July 31, 2013, more information).
  • NRC reviews Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Plan

  • OCB prepares open letter recommending that ocean acidification be considered a key consideration for international decisionmakers
