Washington State Blue Ribbon Panel on Ocean Acidification

"This Scientific Summary was developed through the combined efforts of a group of natural scientists from Washington State with assistance from colleagues in Oregon. The purpose of this white paper is specifically to inform members of the Washington Shellfish Initiative Blue Ribbon Panel on Ocean Acidification regarding the conditions and likely biological and ecological responses to ocean acidification in the estuarine and coastal waters of Washington. We draw from examples within Washington wherever possible; where that is not possible, we use relevant examples from other coastal ecosystems. We identify areas where the knowledge base is thin, and note areas where more research could improve our understanding of ocean acidification in Washington marine waters"--Preamble.
