Are you curious about what ocean acidification (OA) is? Are you curious about what a more acidic ocean could mean for the fish you target? Would you like to learn how seagrass plantings can buffer changes in water chemistry and help with oyster reef restoration? Are you eager to try out a new app that provides short-term forecasts for pH and hypoxia in coastal waters?

If so, we'd like to invite you to join us for a new virtual educational mini-series, Hooked on Ocean Acidification (OA). During four Thursday evening sessions, we'll provide you with the latest scientific research and mobile apps to understand how ocean acidification may affect your local fisheries and what can be done to reduce the impacts. You'll also have a chance to win a $25 Bass Pro Shops Gift Card during our weekly raffle!

Hooked on Ocean Acidification is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association for Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (MARACOOS), in collaboration with our partners at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Rutgers Cooperative Extension, and the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium.

Registration Information and Program Details:

When: Thursday nights from 6:30-8:00 PM, February 18, February 25, March 4, and March 11. (You are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions.)

Where: Sessions will be held virtually, via ZOOM. Links for each session will be provided after you register.

Wow did not even know this was an issue! I remember back in the 80's when acid rain was a big problem in NY's Adirondacks. Terrible... another potential hardship on our local fisheries...:(
