OPC and California Sea Grant provided $2.5 million to fund three research projects addressing ocean acidification and hypoxia (OAH) in coastal California. These projects were selected though a competitive research call to address OAH research, monitoring, and synthesis priorities. Click here for more information about these projects.
Furthermore, OPC funded the Southern California Coastal Water Resource Project (SCCWRP) to expand and integrate biological measurements into ongoing OAH monitoring programs. Results from these four projects will ultimately provide state resource management agencies and local jurisdictions with data necessary to protect marine biodiversity and water quality, advance coastal adaptation efforts, and support climate-ready fisheries.
