These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) Non-Program Project initative, Pelagic Component of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, project number 22200127. Gulf Watch Alaska is the long-term ecosystem monitoring program of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council for the marine ecosystem affected by the 1989 oil spill. The Chugach Regional Resources Commission (CRRC) operates the Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute (APMI), and its Ocean Acidification Research Laboratory (OAR Lab), in Seward Alaska. This project incorporates dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) sampling for the purposes of quantifying ocean acidification into the Gulf Watch Program currently funded by Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC). The Gulf Watch program, through its routine sampling, has added the collection of DIC samples to several of its sampling sites. This has added to the current data sets from these locations and offers a broader understanding of ocean acidification in Prince William Sound and Lower Cook ...
