Understanding Adaptive Capacity to Environmental Change: An Analysis of Community Perceptions and Policy Responses to Ocean Acidification and other marine stressors on the West Coast

Creator:: Moreno, Victoria Doreen
Abstract:: Ocean acidification disrupts marine and coastal ecosystems’ carbonate chemistry, directly and indirectly affecting communities that depend on critical marine organisms. Ocean acidification research typically seeks to understand natural system responses; yet there is insufficient research that examines community and institutional responses or, more generally, their vulnerability to ocean acidification. This...
