Alaska Ocean Acidification Network

January 8 is the OA Day of Action

January 8 (8.1) represents the current pH of the ocean. This is an opportunity to help Congress, states, local governments and coastal communities learn more about ocean acidification and commit to addressing it.
NOAA's Data in the Classroom offers OA resources

Interactive web maps, apps, videos and high-resolution images help students learn about ocean and coastal acidification using real data.
OA sensor in Beaufort lagoon reveals new findings

A full year of pH data is providing scientists with a new perspective on both the relationship between local drivers and the role of lagoons with air-sea carbon dioxide exchange.
Can OA impact predator-prey response?

An experiment at the Kasitsna Bay lab is underway to find out if OA influences not not just shell density of mollusks but also the way they behave.
Alaska communities are sampling for OA

Over 20 communities across the state are taking weekly water samples to better understand ocean acidification conditions in their immediate environment.
New Brochure: OA and multiple stressors

This publication describes how cumulative impacts such as ocean acidification and warming together may impact crab and fish in Alaska.
