»¨½·Ö±²¥ Ocean Acidification Mooring Network
Project Description
The current Ocean Acidification (OA) monitoring network was installed through support from the »¨½·Ö±²¥ State Legislature, federal agencies, private industry, and nongovernmental organizations. This network established an OA instrumentation pool and infrastructure assets that were integral to establishing and tracking current biogeochemical conditions around »¨½·Ö±²¥'s coasts. Current support continues to come from a consortium of funding agencies and is critical for continuing OA research in »¨½·Ö±²¥.
