Mission Statement
The Acidification Nearshore Monitoring Network (ANeMoNe) is a research project lead by Washington Department of Natural Resource's Aquatic Assets and Monitoring team. The goal of this project is to understand how changing water temperatures and ocean acidification impact life in the Puget Sound and to provide a way for Washington State citizens to engage in understanding climate change and its impact on our local ecosystems.
Description
This program consists of a team of scientists that strive to answer some essential questions regarding the natural resource management of aquatic lands in the state of Washington. To ensure that best available science is included in decisions that might influence the aquatic resources of the state, DNR scientists are involved in research of various aquatic environments.
