Corrigendum to Locating Gaps in the California Current Ocean Acidification Monitoring Network. Sci Prog 103(3): 1–27. DOI: 10.1177/0036850420936204
The
OA ranks among the top threats to coastal marine ecosystems in this century.2 Without accurate data on acidification conditions, it is difficult to detect changes, predict future impacts and make management decisions. Coordinating monitoring efforts to collect that data, and prioritizing new efforts based on a strategic optimization framework, will allow marine managers to address OA as efficiently as possible with limited resources. We hope that this tool helps managers and scientists make challenging but data driven choices about where to invest in ocean monitoring. We also hope that the improved monitoring network we describe here will be used to improve predictive capacity and thus enable strategic local management strategies to reduce OA impacts on a regional scale.
