"Understanding the intricate balance between alkalinity additions and #coral response will contribute to developing effective and informed strategies" for carbon dioxide removal and mitigating #OceanAcidification - Dr. Melissa Melendez https://t.co/7o3RAFp8Sp

This project will identify how corals and crustose coralline algae respond to immediate alkalinity additions and to determine the effects of chronic and acute exposure to ocean alkalinity enhancement.
How does acidification in the ocean affect corals and crustose coralline algae on reefs? And how can carbon removal help? This study is looking into it: https://t.co/RBgkTB3HGJ

Today on 8 January, the #OADayOfAction, we recognize the global average pH of 8.1 - a 26% increase in acidity over the past 250 years. Join us to learn more about #OceanAcidification and actions we take to address impacts. https://t.co/O4oArh1aTf

🎉Happy anniversary to the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument! Rose Atoll, with its beautiful pink coralline algae and healthy #coral reef, experiences lower #OceanAcidification. How coral reefs track ocean chemistry in the #Pacific: https://t.co/PO7lomOoai
#OnThisDay in 2009, Rose Atoll Marine National Monument was established! The rosy pink hue of this ring-shaped #CoralReef comes from the color of crustose coralline algae. Today, Rose Atoll is part of the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. https://t.co/hWElMmjOHW

🎉Happy 5th Anniversary to #MissionIconicReefs! #CoralReefs provide many ecosystem services, but also face several stressors including #OceanAcidification and warming. Learn more about #corals and the great efforts to support these important ecosystems. https://t.co/AZtS9OoYLi
#OnThisDay in 2019, #MissionIconicReefs launched! For five years, @NOAA and partners like @marinesanctuary have worked towards the goal of restoring 3 million square feet of #CoralReefs in @FloridaKeysNMS. Check out the brand-new website at https://t.co/LtjIPE9rKC!

DYK that water treatment facilities already treat water to make it less acidic? Last week marked the first dosing experiment to help scientists, engineers learn how this practice might provide CO2 removal co-benefits. About this project: https://t.co/bvIexqtai4…
