Abstract
As ocean pH levels continue to decline due to increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, a process known as ocean acidification (OA), industries dependent on ocean resources must adapt to mitigate negative impacts of OA. Utilizing adaptive strategies identified by shellfish growers in prior, related research, we seek to explore and identify existing U.S. State and Federal policies that pertain to OA, how they might impact the ability for shellfish growers in California (CA) and Oregon (OR) adapt to OA, and where there are opportunities for policy expansion to improve their capacity to adapt to OA. Potential pathways linking adaptation needs with policy processes is discussed.
