Project Manager: Ed Peltzer
Lead Scientists: Peter Brewer and Jim Barry
Lead Engineer: Bill Kirkwood
Brewer and Barry are continuing to assemble a team within MBARI and through external collaborators. Bruce Robison will be examining the effect of ocean acidification on the midwater biological community, while Chris Scholin is interested in connecting this research to the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) upper-water column work. Judith Kildow is examining what regulations, laws, and policies need to be addressed to implement the research strategy.
