Abstract

The PIs at the National Academy of Sciences are funded to have an ad hoc committee review the Interagency Working Group on Ocean (IWGOA) strategic plan for federal research and monitoring on ocean. This study is a congressionally-mandated by the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring (FOARAM) Act of 2009 and funded by NSF and NOAA. Broader Impacts Knowledge about the impacts of ocean acidification from local to global scale are still not well understood. The review of the IWGOA plan will provide additional guidance to help strengthen the science as a basis for sound decision making and action.
