  1. Building a New Knowledge Base for West Coast Decision Makers Convened to advance decision-makers’ understanding of drivers and impacts of ocean acidification and hypoxia by synthesizing and translating knowledge from this scientifically diverse and rapidly evolving field of research. Panel Website: www.westcoastOAH.org

  2. West Coast Perspective • California, Oregon, Washington, BC • Established by the Ocean Protection council, convened by California Ocean Science Trust • Building off work of the WA Blue Ribbon Task Force • Producing a variety of products: • Peer reviewed publications focused on addressing key science questions driven by science needs at multiple levels of government • Communications-friendly summaries for West Coast decision makers www.westcoastOAH.org

  3. Primary Decision Maker Science Needs • What are the naturally occurring variations in acidification and hypoxia parameters in both space and time? • To what extent have, or are, we going to deviate from “naturally occurring variations” as identified in Q1? • How much do regional and local inputs affect the deviations identified in Q2? • What are the consequences of the deviations identified under Q2 for uses or ecological resources of our coastal oceans? • What research and monitoring would most efficiently fill critical information gaps encountered by the Panel in answering these questions? www.westcoastOAH.org
