MACAN Workshop

The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) works to develop a better understanding of the processes associated with estuarine, coastal, and ocean acidification, predict the consequences for marine resources, and devise local adaptation strategies that enable communities and industries to better prepare and adapt. MACAN is a nexus of scientists, federal and state agency representatives, resource managers, and affected industry partners who seek to coordinate and guide regional observing, research, and modeling of ocean and coastal acidification.MACAN serves as an information hub and exchange among research, industry, and resource managers. We focus on waters and impacted species from south of Long Island down to Virginia.Network members work collaboratively on identifying and pursuing opportunities to address coastal and ocean acidification in the Mid-Atlantic, building upon the skills and interest of individual members. We provide a forum to share best practices in monitoring and sampling collection.
