Hello Maine Ocean Acidification Network:

Downeast Institute is holding a seminar this Thursday, July 8 at 1:00 pm you may be interested in:

Exploring effects of ocean acidification and warming on early life-stage shellfish

Dr. Robert Holmberg (Downeast Institute) will speak about his research on OA and warming impacts on mortality and shell size and shape of soft-shell clams as well as preliminary results from a laboratory experiment that examined the effects of adding crushed oyster shell to intertidal sediments on carbonate chemistry. He will also talk about ongoing monitoring of intertidal sediment porewater chemistry taking place in Beals and South Portland this year.

Ray Czaja (Stony Brook University) will talk about Atlantic surf clams' response to OA and warming oceans in terms of survival, growth, feeding, swimming, and predicting dispersal and settlement.

People interested in joining (either in person at DEI or via zoom) should contact me (Sran...@downeastinstitute.org) to register.

Best,

Sara
