SOARCE Webinar Series – A new wave of ocean acidification communication: engaging communities using StoryMaps

Published 13 September 2023 Courses and training , Presentations Closed

Date and time: Wednesday, 13 September 2023, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM CEST

Location: online

Ocean acidification (OA) is linked to environmental, economic, and societal losses in communities reliant on threatened ecosystems and fisheries. Alaskans are particularly vulnerable compared to lower latitudes, experiencing accelerated OA and higher dependencies on at-risk species for industry and subsistence. However, OA remains under-discussed and often misunderstood by many educators, industry workers, and community members.

To better engage with communities affected by OA, NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program, the OA Alliance, the Alaska OA Network, and the Aquarium Conservation Partnership collaborated to increase targeted OA communication in Alaska. Together, we created a public-friendly digital StoryMap detailing local impacts of and responses to OA that aquariums or educational centers can implement or promote. Similar StoryMaps are being designed for other regions and aquariums from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to emphasize aspects of OA across the US. In fact, local aquarium or education center partners are working on increasing local engagement with the StoryMaps through different storytelling, design, and implementation choices.

Nuclear explained – what is ocean acidification? (text & audio)

Published 13 June 2023 Presentations , Program , Uncategorized Closed

The ocean is both a source of oxygen and a sink for carbon dioxide (CO2). It absorbs about one fourth of all CO2 emissions. While this leaves less CO2 in the atmosphere and mitigates climate change, it makes the ocean more acidic. Ocean acidification has emerged as a global issue because of its effect on marine organisms, ecosystems and livelihoods.

Guests:

  • Sam Dupont, Professor of Marine Eco-Physiology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden
  • Sarah Flickinger, Associate Research Scientist at the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center, IAEA Marine Environment Laboratories, Monaco
  • Celeste Sánchez Noguera, Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Costa Rica

In this episode, experts explain what ocean acidification is and how nuclear techniques contribute to the understanding of this process and its impact. Nuclear techniques enable scientists to study past ocean conditions and forecast future effects of more acidic conditions.

Join NOAA OAP for the June SOARCE webinar series: “Community sampling for ocean acidification in South Central Alaska” with Willow Hetrick from the Chugach Regional Resources Commission on Wednesday, June 14th at 1pm EST.

The Chugach Regional Resources Commission (CRRC) is a tribal non-profit fish and wildlife commission established in 1984 by the Tribes of Prince William Sound and Lower Cook Inlet. The Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute (APMI), a division of CRRC, is a mariculture technical center located in Seward, Alaska focused on providing subsistence resource harvest opportunity to Tribal members.

The ocean acidification program, conducted by the APMI and CRRC, has been bridging the gap between western science and residents of coastal communities in Southcentral Alaska. The continuous ocean acidification monitoring by APMI and discrete ocean acidification samples and exposure studies provide climate data for researchers to utilize in studying trends and high-level science. The discrete ocean acidification sampling program is conducted by Natural Resource Specialists in Alaska Native communities in Southcentral Alaska.

GOA-ON webinar: multinational efforts in the search for a global solution for the production and certification of reference materials for measurements of the seawater carbonate system

Published 19 May 2023 Events , Presentations Closed

Date and time: 31 May 2023, 13:00 UTC

Moderator: Artur P. Palacz, International Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Coordination Project (IOCCP)

Speakers: Maribel I. García-Ibáñez, Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM), CSIC; Regina Easley, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

High-quality measurements of the seawater carbonate system allow us to quantify and understand the oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and monitor ocean acidification. Those seawater carbonate system measurements rely on the availability of reference materials (RMs). The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the fragility of the production system of the seawater RMs for the carbonate system, currently depending on one single laboratory. With that in mind, a new model for seawater RMs for the carbonate system, centered on regional hubs, is being discussed to create a more resilient system. The proposed new model for seawater RMs for the carbonate system requires unprecedented involvement of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) on a global level. The integration of the new model into the global metrology landscape will help to produce the RMs that are comparable and metrologically traceable to the International System of Units.

Open public seminar: “Ocean ecology and biogeochemistry”

Published 8 May 2023 Events , Presentations Closed

Date and time: 24 May 2023, 2:30pm to 3:30pm

Location: Oregon State University, Burt Hall, 193, 2651 SW Orchard Avenue, Corvallis, OR 97331

Speaker: Dr Ana Spalding, Associate Professor of Marine and Coastal Policy, Oregon State University

Understanding a community’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and adapt to impacts of environmental, economic, or cultural change is an essential component of understanding and supporting pathways to resilient coastal futures. In the context of Ocean Acidification and associated environmental stressors, for this project we interviewed shellfish farms in California and Oregon to assess their capacity to adapt to risks from changing ocean conditions due to climate change. Specifically, we explored shellfish growers’ perceptions of the impacts of environmental change and identified explicit strategies currently used, or being considered for use, within the industry to adapt to these changes.

Our research questions included: 1. What are shellfish farmers’ perceptions of environmental change? 2. What adaptive strategies are being used to decrease vulnerability and increase resilience to OA and environmental change? And 3. What policy opportunities exist to implement these strategies?
