Oyster reproduction is compromised by acidification experienced seasonally in coastal regions
A recent study published by Boulais et al. (2017) in Scientific Reports showed eastern oyster oogenesis was disrupted in severe OA conditions. Though reproduction was resilient to near-future OA conditions, anthropogenic CO
2 could exacerbate seasonal acidification leading to a bottleneck in reproduction.

NEXT UP IN STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOPS
The first SOCAN stakeholder workshop was held in October in Morehead City, NC. The SOCAN stakeholder workshops seek to engage stakeholders in acidification science and offers the opportunity for SOCAN to learn more about their data needs. Up next? South Carolina and Georgia.
Please contact Leslie Wickes if you would like to get involved.
COMING SOON: NEW SOCAN DATA PORTAL
A new SOCAN data portal is currently in development to visualize acidification data in the Southeast. Do we have your assets on the map? If you'd like to contribute, please submit here.
SOCAN MEMBERSHIP
SOCAN is starting a membership option that will provide access to a growing network of ocean acidification scientists and stakeholders. Sign up and find out more >
SECOORA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Ocean Acidification Program are facilitating the operation of the SOCAN to support and encourage discussions on ocean and coastal acidification in the Southeast region.
