Cooperative Agreement NA20OAR0170511

The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography was awarded a $875,891 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017). The 3-year project focuses on developing and testing a low-cost, low-energy system to capture atmospheric CO2 and convert it into alkaline salts for ocean alkalinity enhancement. The research team will construct a pilot system,...

This federal Project Grant award of $1,049,821 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) aims to develop and evaluate ocean acidification-relevant data products for the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). The key objectives are to: Develop two sets of ocean acidification products for the CCLME based on data assimilation procedures and statistical estimates of carbonate variables for the periods 2011-2026 and...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a 3-year, $1,032,631 Cooperative Agreement under the Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research Coastal Ocean Program (CFDA 11.478) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to assess the synergistic impacts of nitrogen loading and ocean acidification on harmful algal bloom (HAB) development and toxicity within the Long Island Sound estuary. The project, led by principal investigators Dianne...

This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) provides $382,965 to the University of Alaska Southeast to develop adaptation planning resources for Tribal communities in Southeast Alaska facing the impacts of ocean acidification. The key products and services to be delivered include: Synthesizing data on ocean acidification, environmental changes, and marine resource harvests in Southeast Alaska, while engaging...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) provides $147,843 to a research team led by scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and North Carolina State University. The project aims to study a range of phytoplankton, harmful algae, and biological processes during the GOMECC cruise in the Gulf of Mexico in the summer of 2025. Key activities include collecting water...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) will enhance the adaptive capacity of the Atlantic sea scallop fishery to ocean acidification. The $1,133,554 project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will integrate oceanographic modeling, industry engagement, and socio-economic research to develop actionable adaptation strategies. Key objectives include developing seasonal...

This $716,649 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rhode Island to quantify changes in ocean acidification (OA) in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island resulting from reductions in nutrient inputs. Over the past few decades, management agencies have reduced nutrient loads to coastal waters by over one-third to improve water quality, which could lower OA levels even though that was not the initial goal....

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $113,971 cooperative agreement to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Ocean Acidification Program. The award will support evaluating vulnerability of traditional and emerging coastal Alaska industries to ocean acidification and potential interactions among these industries. The Ocean Acidification Program plays an integral role in maintaining long-term monitoring of ocean...

This $150,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017), focuses on collecting and analyzing 13C-DIC samples during the East Coast Ocean Acidification (ECOA) cruise. The key objectives are to: Collect high-resolution 13C-DIC data and compare it to previous 2018, 2022, and 1996 cruise samples to gauge the influence of atmospheric history and lateral transfer on anthropogenic CO2 accumulation....

This federal Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) provides $598,893 to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to identify adaptive actions and needs for the shellfish aquaculture industry in the Chesapeake Bay region to address the impacts of ocean and coastal acidification (OCA). The research team will create a dashboard to help shellfish growers and harvesters assess the potential impacts of OCA...
