Abstract: The Pacific Northwest oyster industry has led the way globally in adapting to current day ocean acidification impacts on aquaculture. This story of resilience will be presented by two of several key players in the early recognition of the ocean acidification impacts, and adapting to keep the oyster industry viable through unprecedented production failures in hatcheries. Alan Barton and George Waldbusser will briefly discuss the evolution of the problem, how the partnerships formed, what the industry is currently doing, and ongoing research to better understand acidification impacts within and outside hatcheries.
