Web Seminar

Join us on Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET, to learn about ocean acidification.

The ocean acts like a sponge, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Increased absorption by the ocean causes changes to our ocean's chemistry from pole to pole. This is known as ocean acidification. Ocean acidification has regional and local impacts on marine life, ecosystems, and the people who depend on them. Additional processes and stressors near our coasts like nutrient pollution and algae blooms cause coastal acidification, introducing additional impacts.  We've advanced our science enough to be able to assess regional vulnerability and identify and build adaptive strategies to help people prepare for and mitigate these challenges.

In this web seminar, the presenters will talk about NOAA's efforts to assess resilience and vulnerability to ocean and coastal acidification and provide resources and solutions supporting coastal and inland communities. The presenters will also share the latest research in the emerging field of marine carbon dioxide removal to mitigate ocean acidification.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.

We invite you to register for upcoming web seminars at NSTA.
