Archive Science Update: Ocean and Coastal Acidification: Building Community Resilience to Our Changing Ocean, March 13, 2025

The ocean acts like a sponge, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Increased absorption by the ocean causes changes to our ocean's chemistry from pole to pole. This is known as ocean acidification. Ocean acidification has regional and local impacts on marine life, ecosystems, and the people who depend on them. Additional processes and stressors near our coasts like nutrient pollution and algae blooms cause coastal acidification, introducing additional impacts.

Archive: Science Update: Making a Marine Debris "MAP": Collecting Marine Debris Data with NOAA's Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project, September 18, 2025

Marine debris is a widespread pollution problem in our ocean and waterways. It can harm wildlife, habitats, and our economy. This issue is human-caused, but it also has human solutions. One of the best tools we have to combat marine debris is understanding the distribution, abundance, and types of debris in the marine environment. The Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project (MDMAP) is a NOAA initiative to measure the amount and types of marine debris on shorelines.

The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is a joint mission between NOAA and NASA that observes Earth and provides critical data for weather forecasting in addition to many other climate change, agriculture, aviation, and disaster monitoring applications. Observations from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites like JPSS provide scientists with daily information about how Earth’s dynamic systems constantly evolve.
