Alaska Ocean Acidification Network
The Alaska Ocean Acidification Network engages with scientists and stakeholders to expand the understanding of ocean acidification processes and consequences, as well as potential adaptation strategies.
Strengthening Alaska’s Fishing Communities for a Resilient Future
Climate change is reshaping the Gulf of Alaska, placing marine ecosystems and fishing communities at risk. We’re partnering with Cordova, Kodiak, and Sitka to create adaptive strategies that protect fisheries and support community resilience.

Webinar Feb 18: Ocean acidification and marine carbon dioxide removal
The International OA Alliance is hosting a webinar to discuss the links between mCDR and ocean acidification — particularly, the state of the science, as well as how certain actions might achieve specific desired goals.
Alaska OA researchers meet in Anchorage
Seventeen Alaska OA researchers met in person at the end of January during the Alaska Marine Science Symposium to catch up on updates and discuss the topic of mCDR (marine carbon dioxide removal). The symposium week included OA posters, talks and the opportunity for good conversations.
University of Alaska student opportunity: add OA sampling to your project
The Ocean Acidification Research Center (OARC) at UAF is pleased to announce the ’Samples of Opportunity’ program again for summer 2026. This program gives current UA students the option to add a new tool, marine carbonate chemistry, to their data toolbox free of charge. Ocean Acidification data can be applied to interdisciplinary research areas including aquaculture, environmental change, fisheries, marine biology, natural resource management, and oceanography. Proposals are due March 15, 2026.
NOAA’s OA Indicator Tool shows Alaska OA data and trends
An ocean acidification indicator dashboard hosted by NOAA uses long-term ocean observing data to provide snapshots of ocean chemistry around the country. The dashboard includes regions within Alaska waters and provides information on the parameters, data source, and general trends. The dashboard aggregates publicly available data and is updated annually.
