will lead to improved understanding of the global biogeochemical processes of ocean acidification and its impact on marine ecosystems. Pursuant to section 12404 of the FOARAM Act, 33 U.S.C. 3703, a National Ocean Acidification Program will be established to lead U.S. coordination of ocean acidification activities between the Federal agencies, and with academic institutions, industry, and other private sector and international partners. A national ocean acidification data management and information exchange program will ensure that ocean acidification information reaches scientists, decision makers, and the public in a timely manner. Finally, the U.S. will join other countries in establishing a robust international research program to address this global challenge.

Overview

The Plan is organized into seven priority themes: Theme 1—‘‘Monitoring of Ocean

Chemistry and Biological Impacts,’’ identifies sampling programs that collect ocean acidification data, and it prioritizes additional monitoring systems necessary for adequate data collection and monitoring. Theme 2—‘‘Research to Understand

Responses to Ocean Acidification,’’ describes the goals and priorities to understand the physiological responses of marine organisms to ocean acidification and its interactions with other stressors, the impacts to marine food webs, and possible approaches to track ecosystem responses. Theme 3—‘‘Modeling to Predict

Changes in the Ocean Carbon Cycle and Impacts on Marine Ecosystems and Organisms,’’ summarizes requirements and recommendations for modeling ocean acidification, and its impacts on marine organisms and ecosystems, including codifying our research understanding and studying the interplay of factors affecting marine ecosystems, thus permitting analysis of the efficacy of adaptation and mitigation strategies. Theme 4—‘‘Technology Development

and Standardization of Measurements,’’ describes goals that ensure the ability to measure all required parameters through technology development and adequate data quality via measurement standardization. Theme 5—‘‘Assessment of

Socioeconomic Impacts and Development of Strategies to Conserve Marine Organisms and Ecosystems,’’ focuses on assessing the socioeconomic impacts of ocean acidification and developing adaptation and mitigation strategies. Theme 6—‘‘Education, Outreach, and

Engagement Strategy on Ocean Acidification,’’ describes goals for designing and coordinating educational, public outreach, and domestic and international engagement activities, as well as ensuring results and assessments of monitoring and research efforts are accessible to and understandable by all stakeholders. Theme 7—‘‘Data Management and

Integration,’’ discusses the need for effective data management and integration within the context of other international, Federal, State, local and private activities.
Description of Desired Comments

General comments are welcome and specific comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed strategy meets the requirements of the FOARAM Act, (2) whether the proposed strategy meets the ocean acidification research needs of the United States; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the strategy; and (4) any additional information that is currently absent that should be included. Comments submitted in response to this notice will become a matter of public record and will be posted online together with responses from the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Acidification established under section 12404 of the FOARAM Act. Id. All comments will be carefully considered and addressed in the Strategic Research Plan to the extent possible.
