Results show that by the end of this century,

  2. Low-Oxygen Waters Off Washington, Oregon Coasts Risk Becoming Large “Dead Zones”

    Oceanic measurements collected during a scientific cruise on NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown last week confirmed that a large area of poorly oxygenated water (known as hypoxia) is growing off the coast of Washington and Oregon. Oxygen-depleted bottom waters occur seasonally along the continental shelf of Washington and Oregon when

  3. Severe biological effects under present-day estuarine acidification in the seasonally variable Salish Sea

    Nina Bednaršeka, Jan A. Newton, Marcus W. Beck, Simone R. Alin, Richard A. Feely, Natasha R.Christman, Terrie Klinger Abstract Estuaries are recognized as one of the habitats most vulnerable to coastal ocean acidification due to seasonal extremes and prolonged duration of acidified conditions. This is combined with co-occurring environmental stressors
