Welcome to OASeS, the Ocean Acidification Sentinel Site
The Ocean Acidification Sentinel Site (OASeS) on the Olympic Coast of Washington state will focus on ocean acidification (OA) related science and identify trends in carbonate chemistry and hypoxia. The sentinel site will be used to inform resource managers and coastal communities by telling the story of OA and its impacts on both Washington coastal marine resources, coastal cultures, communities, and economies. OASeS will seek to ensure that the Olympic Coast is well prepared for changing ocean conditions, with research and management actions in place.
Olympic Coast Ocean Acidification Sentinel Site 2026 Symposium
On May 12-13, 2026, we plan to host our third Ocean Acidification Sentinel Site (OASeS) Symposium to bring together tribal governments, agencies, resource managers, researchers, educators, and other interested parties on the Olympic Coast to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate on efforts to address and respond to changing ocean conditions. This will be held at Ocean Shores Convention Center, 120 W Chance a La Mer NW, Ocean Shores, WA, 98569, with lodging at Comfort Inn Suites in Ocean Shores. Register by April 20th, book lodging by May 1st.
There are no registration fees for this Symposium. However, attendees are expected to cover their own costs (lodging, mileage, per diem, etc.), unless otherwise coordinated. We plan to provide lunch for those who register and may offer one evening reception with light refreshments, depending on registration responses. We will be in touch with additional information as the event approaches.
