A collection of 240 new maps were recently added to the Portal showing monthly surface readings over five years for four parameters that are instrumental for determining acidification levels and events in coastal and ocean waters. MACAN has also released infographics showing thresholds for pH and aragonite saturation where various Mid-Atlantic species could experience mortality and/or stunted growth due to acidic conditions.

You can learn more about this data and MACAN’s research and educational outreach on coastal and ocean acidification in an upcoming edition of the Portal’s “How Tuesday’ webinar series, to be held Feb. 24 at 12 p.m. The session will feature a presentation by MACAN Co-Coordinator Dr. Janet Reimer. Come with your questions about the maps and share how you may use them for your work.
