lewis_sharman@nps.gov OVERVIEW Component 1 - OA Field/Laboratory Program A recent study completed in Glacier Bay (Reisdorph and Mathis 2014) showed that ocean acidification has already had a significant effect on the water chemistry of the bay and project show that the intensity, duration and extent of ocean acidification evens will be exacerbated in the next few decades.
It is now time to take the next step in our understanding and quantify the impacts that the changes in carbonate chemistry are having on zooplankton populations, which are a critical component of the Glacier Bay marine food web.
With the information provided by this second phase of this project, managers will have a much better understanding of the risks associated with this known threat.
Although the threat is real and known, the character and magnitude of impact remain poorly understood.
This project will resolve many of the key uncertainties for Glacier Bay; it will complement and enhance similar studies currently occurring in the Gulf of Alaska, arctic, and subarctic waters; and it will significantly increase understanding of glacial fjord systems globally.
Although the study cannot diminish or remove the threat, it can provide valuable insights into the dynamic processes of Glacier Bay, and thereby inform our understanding of key ecosystem drivers and stressors.
It will thus provide a more robust and holistic scientific backdrop to Glacier Bayâ¿¿s local management decisions that influence impacts to the same resources that are being impacted by ocean acidification.
STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN As with many manifestations of climate change, ocean acidification as an ongoing process is so extensive and has such momentum as to severely constrain managersâ¿¿ ability to halt or reverse its effects within near-term timescales.
Nevertheless, a critical element of minimizing its impacts on ecosystems and society is to educate the public about how the process works, its influences on resources and opportunities that they care about, and how those effects can be mitigated.
This research project will provide information to elucidate all these, and park interpreters and educators will actively share those results with park visitors, students, and the general public.
Under the leadership of the Principal Investigators (with expertise in ocean acidification research and zooplankton/marine food webs), we will partner with other key UAF research staff and a graduate (M.S.) student.
Proposed seawater and zooplankton samples will be collected on four regularly-scheduled hydrographic monitoring cruises (presently conducted by GLBA and Southeast Alaska Network (SEAN) inventory and monitoring staff under the Oceanography Vital Sign); no additional ship days will be required, and samples will be collected quickly and with little additional cost or impact to normal cruise operations.
The sampling design proposes two years of sampling on four regularly-scheduled monitoring cruises in Years 1 and 2 (8 total cruises to cover all four seasons across 2 years), with a data synthesis in Year 3. With funding for a masters-level graduate student, a published thesis will result; peer-reviewed journal articles will likely also be produced.
Each year the PIs will deliver a detailed report and data to the NPS, both of which will be made broadly available via web-based distribution.
This annual report will outline the major findings of all field work in the previous year and compare new results to historical datasets to better understand the local and regional trends in ocean acidification and its impacts on zooplankton species and marine food webs.
Data collected from Glacier Bay will be evaluated in the contexts of both the local dynamics of this unique glacial fjord system, and their broader connections to waters and processes observed in other areas of the North Pacific.
Key project components include:
â¿¢ Water column analyses of carbonate cycle parameters (dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity) for the calculation of pH and carbonate mineral saturation states; net tows for the collection of zooplankton species to determine seasonal stock distributions and water chemistry impacts on species; analyses of inorganic nutrients and chlorophyll-a to provide biogeochemical context.
â¿¢ Years 1-2:
Water sampling by UAF graduate student on four cruises (March, July, September, and December/January).
o 6 depths at 7 stations on four cruises.
â¿¢ Year 3:
Synthesis of carbonate and zooplankton data to determine at what depths and/or seasons zooplankton populations show impacts of ocean acidification.
o Presentation of results at the Alaska Marine Science Symposium.
Publication of M.S.
thesis and peer-reviewed journal article.
In addition to the technical project reports and presentations, two additional key NPS-centric deliverables will be produced.
The first is a brief (two-page) issue and project summary suitable for distribution to non-scientists and the general public.
The second is a more detailed project summary article submitted to the NPS publication Alaska Park Science or Park Science upon project completion.
Component 2 - Conceptual Model Development A related critical project component involves developing a systems thinking-based approach to a conceptual model of ocean acidification.
This model will focus on trophic linkages between nearshore coastal biological communities and nearshore coastal dynamics, with particular consideration of the physio-chemical characteristics and biology found in Alaskan national parks.
The model will be broadly applicable to Alaskan coastal park units, with the primary purpose being to enable resource managers to identify components of their coastal systems that will benefit the most from additional understanding of the impacts of ocean acidification on their resources.
The deliverable for this project component will be a digital file containing 1) the conceptual model visualization, and 2) the associated detailed written description.
As described above, the ocean acidification model will focus on trophic linkages between nearshore coastal biological communities and nearshore coastal dynamics, with particular consideration of the physio-chemical characteristics and biology found in Alaskan national parks.
