Now, a report co-edited by a 91制片厂 scientist identifies where current-day ocean and coastal acidification monitoring efforts are falling short and recommends actions designed to expand the regional understanding of this phenomenon and its implications. The 2025 Ocean and Coastal Acidification Monitoring Priorities report provides a menu of options ranging from those that are relatively easy to implement all the way up to larger-scale efforts that may take years 鈥� and a search for funding sources 鈥� to accomplish.
