Fish, Fisheries, and Carbon – 3-part international workshop

DATES: 6, 8, and 9 March 2023

1) Register for the workshop here

2) Sign up for the Zoom links below

The primary aims of this workshop are to:

  • showcase emerging research by the international community on the interactions between fish and the carbon cycle, and the potential impacts of fisheries on carbon stores
  • explore the natural science and societal research that is needed to develop and implement policy to protect the role of fish in ocean carbon cycles

The workshop is open to all stakeholders including NGOs, civil servants, fishers, food industry and researchers. There is no fee to register or attend. The workshop will occur virtually over three dates, all at different times to encourage global participation. All sessions will be recorded and made available after the workshop. Participants may sign up to any or all of the following sessions:

Session 1: Fish contribution to carbon flux
REGISTER for session 1 Zoom
WHEN: 6 March 2023: 0800 PST, 1100 EST, 1600 UTC (GMT), 0200 7 March AEST

Session 2: Fishery impacts on carbon sinks
REGISTER for session 2 Zoom
WHEN: 8 March 2023: 0700 PST, 1000 EST, 1500 UTC (GMT), 0100 9 March AEST

Session 3: Societal impacts when managing fish stocks to protect carbon
REGISTER for session 3 Zoom
WHEN: 9 March 2023: 1400 PST, 1700 EST, 2200 UTC (GMT), 0800 10 March AEST

Each session will include a combination of invited plenary talks, lightning talks, and interactive breakout sessions.

mCDR solicitation – NOAA OAP and NOPP

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Thursday, December 1st, 2022 

The NOAA Ocean Acidification Program on behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) is soliciting proposals focused on (a) reducing uncertainty about the extent and durability of marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR); (b) understanding associated co-benefits (including ocean acidification mitigation) and risks of mCDR; and (c) the science needed to build regulatory frameworks for both testing and scaling of mCDR approaches. To be eligible under this NOPP funding opportunity, each proposing team must be comprised of participants from at least two of the following three sectors: academia, private sector (including Non-Governmental Organizations, or NGOs), or government (including federal, tribal, state, and local). The agencies and entities funding this multi-agency request for proposals include: NOAA (Ocean Acidification Program, Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program, US Integrated Ocean Observing System/US IOOS), the Department of Energy (Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, Water Power Technologies Office), Department of Navy (Office of Naval Research), the National Science Foundation (Chemical Oceanography Program) and philanthropies including ClimateWorks. You can view the full notice of federal funding here: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=344632. An informational webinar will be held on December 7, 2022 at 4-5 pm ET.

The Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Academy

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Friday, October 28th, 2022 

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is a hot topic right now – there have been a flurry of various activities recently1. As a community of practice focusing on carbon cycle science in North America and adjacent oceans, NACP is poised to make significant contributions in this arena as new programs are initiated and existing CDR activities expand and grow. Perhaps the most relevant area for NACP engagement is the development and implementation of robust measuring, monitoring, and verification (MMRV) for CDR activities, and we are planning an in-depth workshop on this topic in early 2023.

However, we recognize that CDR as a conceptual framework and practice may be relatively novel for many in the NACP community. Thus we are offering a “CDR Academy” that will offer introductory material on the basics of CDR in different Earth systems, including:

A curated list of introductory resources (reports, videos, articles, etc.) on CDR

A series of 1-hour webinars on CDR in different ecosystems/contexts, such as oceans and coasts, geological reservoirs, natural and working lands, and the atmosphere. These webinars will be recorded for future viewing and reference.

A panel discussion with webinar presenters discussing cross-cutting themes, research needs, and potential opportunities for collaboration.

Upcoming  (past recordings are on website)

Building a Cost-effective Coastal Biogeochemical Observing Network in Collaboration with the Commercial Fishing Community

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Friday, September 23rd, 2022 

OCB Scoping Workshop:
Jan 18-20, 2023 (Woods Hole, MA)

This 3-day scoping workshop will initiate a dialog among key stakeholders and collaborators across the commercial fishing community, federal and state governments, technology companies, and academia to focus on building a cost-effective, coastal biogeochemical (BGC) observing network. Existing data coverage often lacks the spatial and temporal resolution to characterize key processes in dynamic coastal systems. What is needed is a more sustainable model for collecting high-resolution data, including BGC data, at a significantly lower cost that can provide improved spatial and temporal coverage. Fishing activities are uniquely well suited for such a sustainable model. A fishery-based BGC coastal observing network will provide data products that directly benefit fishing operations, marine resource management, coastal research, climate change mitigation, the Blue Economy and beyond. Building on decades of collaboration with the commercial fishing industry, this workshop will provide a platform to share diverse stakeholder perspectives and end goals, learn about new and emerging observing capabilities and technologies, and discuss viable approaches to establish a fishery-based BGC observing network. If you are interested in remaining informed about this workshop (e.g., receiving notification when registration opens), please fill out the brief expression of interest form (this doesn’t commit you to attend). If you have questions about the scope of the workshop, please contact lead organizer Z. Aleck Wang.

The workshop will provide 15 honorary stipends of $500 to fishing community participants.
