Opportunities to Address Ocean Acidification Impacts in New Jersey

The Environmental Analysis & Communications Group’s Jeanne Herb, in partnership with Grace Saba and Janine Barr, co-authored Opportunities to Address Ocean Acidification Impacts in New Jersey: An Outline of Options for the New Jersey Coastal Management program. The report was made possible with financial assistance through the NJDEP’s Coastal Management Program.

Ocean acidification (OA) is the process by which the addition of carbon dioxide acts to increase seawater acidity and lower pH, with potentially harmful ecological and economic consequences. As such, the New Jersey Coastal Management Program (CMP) engaged a team at Rutgers University to offer insights as to potential approaches that the CMP could undertake to initiate a focused OA effort in New Jersey.
