U.S. West Coast Shellfish Industry’s Perception of and Response to Ocean Acidification: Understanding an Ocean Stakeholder.

摘要

Currently, little is known about how the U.S. west coast shellfish industry perceives OA and how it envisions adaptation. To examine this industry’s perspectives, we conducted a regional (Washington, Oregon, and California) survey of the industry, covering oyster, mussel, clam, geoduck, and abalone producers. The Web-based survey contained 44 questions related to five general areas: experience, understanding, concern, partnerships, and adaptability.
