A collection of 240 new maps were recently added to the Portal showing monthly surface readings over five years for four parameters that are instrumental for determining acidification levels and events in coastal and ocean waters. The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) has also released infographics showing thresholds for pH and aragonite saturation where various regional species could experience mortality and/or stunted growth due to acidic conditions. Our Feb. 24 “How Tuesday” webinar covered this data and MACAN’s research and educational outreach on coastal and ocean acidification. The session featured a presentation by MACAN Co-Coordinator Dr. Janet Reimer.
