Mission
The mission of the Industry Working Group is to facilitate communication between industry members (including aquaculturists and fishermen) and the NECAN Steering Committee to help determine what concerns industry members may have and to assess what role, if any, acidification might play with regard to current and anticipated challenges for the region.

Industry Resources
Impacts of Ocean and Coastal Acidification and Industry Needs
VOCAL Project
A collaboration between Sea Grant programs in the North Atlantic, the NOAA North Atlantic Regional Team (NART), NERACOOS, and NECAN
Collaborating and Connecting
This webinar series from 2019 highlights four projects funded through NOAA Sea Grant following the publication of the 2015 NECAN paper “Ocean and Coastal Acidification off New England and Nova Scotia.”
In 2018 NECAN hosted a series of six webinars presented by experts within the fishing and aquaculture industries as well as research institutions on the impacts of ocean and coastal acidification within these sectors.
Ocean Acidification Information Exchange
The OAIE is an online community for professionals involved with or interested in ocean and coastal acidification.
