The overall goal of the European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA) consortium is to advance understanding of the biological, ecological, biogeochemical, and societal implications of ocean acidification.
It brings together more than 100 researchers from 29 institutes and 10 European countries; Belgium, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.
An integral part of the project involves teams of scientists from around Europe traveling to the Arctic, beginning with a Benthic campaign in May 2009, followed by a Pelagic campaign in the northern summer of 2010.
