Ocean Acidification in Southeast Alaska
Southeast Alaska has emerged as a hotspot for ocean acidification. New resources from the Alaska Ocean Acidification Network (AOAN) and UAF’s Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) offer fresh insights into what’s happening in coastal waters and how communities are responding.
Brochure: Ocean Acidificaation in Southeast Alaska
A new four-page brochure (February 2025) highlights maps of Southeast Alaska’s inside waters and offers guidance on how to interpret current data and trends.
Webinar: Ocean Acidification in Alaska
On February 25th, ACCAP hosted a webinar exploring ocean acidification in Alaska, including current conditions and species response. The recorded session features Darcy Dugan (AOOS) and Natalie Monacci (University of Alaska Fairbanks).
AOAN Partners Slated to Lose Funding
The President's proposed budget reduces or eliminates multiple NOAA programs that serve Alaska, including the Alaska Ocean Observing System that coordinates the Alaska Ocean Acidification Network. These cuts would directly affect ocean acidification monitoring and community engagement across the state.
