The hearing will explore the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on living marine resources. Subcommittee Members will hear testimony on the effects that rising concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are having on living marine resources through higher sea temperatures, increased ocean acidity, and other mechanisms. Members will also hear testimony on the implications of these effects for coastal and ocean resource managers, and the need to strengthen federal efforts in the areas of research, timely dissemination of information to decision-makers, adaptation and mitigation. |
