Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Ocean acidification, hypoxia, marine heatwaves, and harmful algal blooms have emerged as leading environmental stressors in the Northern California Current Ecosystem region, impacting ecosystems, fisheries, and indigenous and other coastal communities. The scale of present-day impacts is becoming particularly pronounced.
For the Dungeness crab fishery, the single most valuable fishery on the West Coast, hypoxia has resulted in mass mortality of crabs caught in commercial pots. The fishery has also suffered substantial curtailment due to harmful algal bloom events that have been linked to marine heatwaves.
Similarly, the region's oyster hatcheries, which support a $100+ million/year industry, were the first coastal businesses to suffer the effects of ocean acidification. New research has identified ocean acidification dissolution impacts on Dungeness crab larvae in situ.
The continued intensification of this suite of multi-stressors poses substantial challenges for the management of ocean acidification, hypoxia, marine heatwaves, and harmful algal blooms in the Northern California Current Ecosystem region.
