Southeast Ocean and Coastal Acidification Network

The Southeast Ocean and Coastal Acidification Network

The Southeast Ocean and Coastal Acidification Network (SOCAN) works directly with scientists, resource managers, industry experts and educators to facilitate research and discussion to address coastal and ocean acidification impacts in the U.S. Southeast.

THE SOCAN MISSION

SYNTHESIZE
SCIENCE

The science of ocean and coastal acidification can be complicated and changing chemistry and its impacts vary by region. SOCAN focuses on the U.S. Southeast to understand how our coastal waters are changing and what this means for coastal resources.

COMMUNICATE WITH STAKEHOLDERS

The U.S. Southeast has many coastal resources considered vulnerable to acidification, such as shellfish and coral reefs. SOCAN seeks to inform stakeholders about acidification and coordinate approaches to drive monitoring and research to address stakeholder needs.

COORDINATE
MONITORING EFFORTS

Current monitoring for acidification in the Southeast is limited but SOCAN has prioritized and is pursuing new locations to monitor coastal chemistry. We seek to leverage existing resources to expand acidification monitoring to answer questions about dynamic coastal conditions.
