Monitoring Ocean Acidification in Tribal Waters By Adam Kersch
Sitka Tribe of Alaska and its Southeast Alaska Tribal Oceanic Research (SEATOR) partners collect ocean water samples from villages in Southeast Alaska to test for CO2 levels with this machine. These test results will help gauge the impact ocean acidification is having on the area. Sitka Tribe of Alaska and SEATOR are dedicated to preserving access to traditional marine foods. Understanding the impacts of climate change is a crucial component of this mission. – Sitka, Alaska
