The Ocean Acidification & Hypoxia app combines data from moored instruments and regional ocean models to provide users with live maps and climatological records of ocean temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen content, and the 'corrosiveness' of seawater to shelled organisms across southern to central BC.
To learn more, visit Canada's Ocean Acidification Community of Practice to discover our species impacts, action plans, Canada's expert database and more.
