GCOOS and Gulf of America Coastal Acidification Network (GCAN) are seeking to support the next generation of leaders in ocean and coastal acidification in the Gulf states by inviting applications to a dedicated workshop on ocean and coastal acidification (OA/COA). The workshop will focus on teaching students how to transform ocean and coastal acidification  science into management and policy solutions. Through this award, GCOOS will welcome a cohort of Gulf-region graduate students to attend the GCOOS Spring Meeting, the GCOOS 20th Anniversary celebration and allow them to participate in the workshop. Students will engage with scientists, managers, industry and educators during this event. During the workshop, students will present at a poster session during the GCOOS Spring Members’ meeting & anniversary celebration on April 14, 2026, then join the GCAN workshop April 15 and 16.
