Workshop Summary: First Meeting on Changing Ocean Chemistry on the U.S. West Coast
Workshop Summary: First Meeting of Researchers, Managers, and Policymakers on Changing Ocean Chemistry on the U.S. West Coast
On August 27, 2019 the research team came together with managers, policymakers, and other scientific experts from California, Oregon, and Washington State to discuss the trajectory for this newly funded project. Throughout the day, participants engaged to:
Gather input to inform the three-year research project so that it may better align with decision-making across the West Coast.
Identify key decision points and opportunities to consider ocean acidification (OA) and other interacting stressors over the next three to five years; including current and potential management and policy actions, and funding initiatives at the state and federal levels.
Identify challenges and information needs for considering OA in existing mandates and frameworks.
Identify ways to engage throughout the project and what types of science products would be useful and when.
On March 27th, we held the third webinar in our Climate-Resilient Fisheries Webinar Series. Dr. Tessa Hill and Esther Kennedy from UC Davis led a results webinar unveiling findings from the project "Geospatial Patterns and Species Impacts of Changing Ocean Chemistry on the West Coast".
