A message from the Ocean Science Trust on behalf of
Hello OAH Science Panel subscriber,
In April, the Panel has been sharing the scientific findings and recommendations that have emerged from their core scientific publicationswith state and federal leaders at a variety of venues.
Several Panelists, along with Panel convener, Skyli McAfee, briefed Washington State's Marine Resources Advisory Council (MRAC) on the Panel's findings. The Panel also participated in a meeting, coordinated by the Pacific Coast Collaborative, bringing together state, federal, provincial, and tribal decisions makers across the west coast. The Panel presentations highlighted emerging messages and opportunities for action.
Lastly, this is the final call for abstracts for the upcoming Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation meeting in Portland, Oregon (submissions due by May 1, 2015). There are a number of ocean acidification and hypoxia related sessions, including ones organized by Panelists and Panel conveners. We invite you to explore these sessions and consider submitting a talk.
Thank you again for your continued engagement.
