UNH Scientists Monitor Coastal Water

DURHAM, NH –– Scientists from the University of New Hampshire’s Ocean Process Analysis Laboratory (OPAL) have received funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as part of a five-year, $2 million-plus grant to continue work in the Gulf of Maine and New Hampshire’s Great Bay monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2)and the effects of ocean acidification on coastal ecosystems. The work is a critical component of region-wide efforts by a host of scientists to monitor the health of coastal waters under changing environmental conditions.
