The Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery in Seward, Alaska has been a site for shore-based and high-resolution measurement of seawater CO2 content since October 2013. Measurements of temperature, salinity, and CO2 partial pressure are made near-continuously from a seawater sample line with an intake 100 m from the hatchery and at a depth of 75 m in Resurrection Bay. The effort to collect these data is a collaboration between the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery and the Hakai Institute with support from the Alaska Ocean Observing System via the project “Turning the Headlights on ‘High’: Improving an Ocean Acidification Observing System in Support of Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers” (http://www.nanoos.org/documents/announcements/msi-announcement-oa.pdf) that was jointly funded by IOOS and NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program. CO2 data were collected using either a Sunburst Sensors SUPERCO2 system (October 13, 2013 to August 5, 2014) or a Burke-o-Lator pCO2/TCO2 analyzer (August 15, 2014 to December 20, 2018). ...
