Ocean acidification in Washington State: Shallin Busch (video)
Shallin Busch is a research ecologist at NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWSFC). Her current research focuses on how ocean acidification may impact North Pacific ecosystems. Using the NWFSC ocean acidification experimental system, Dr. Show More Summary
Cobia Micro-CT “Flythrough” (video)
Unique 3D X-ray (Micro-CT scan) imagery of a 22 day old larval cobia (Rachycentron canadum) was used to extract in situ measurements of otolith (ear stone) size and density. The resulting data identified increased otolith size and density in fish raised under decreased-pH ocean acidification conditions. Based on mathematical modeling of otolith function, these changes [...]

Ocean acidification excites boring sponges
Boring sponges get a bad rap. Their own name betrays them, announcing to the world that they are unexciting, ordinary and quite frankly, boring. However, if ever a misnomer existed, this is it. More flatteringly referred to as excavating or bioeroding sponges, these animals play the important yet thankless role of breaking down and recycling [...]

Chief Kitsap Academy students raise awareness of ocean acidification during summit
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Both sides of Tyleeander Purser’s family have fishing backgrounds. The Chief Kitsap Academy student said his Tribe has lived off the water forever. He doesn’t want to see that go away. “If there’s no water, there’s no us,” Purser said. Four students from Suquamish’s Chief Kitsap Academy had the opportunity to raise [...]
