CRS Report: Ocean Acidification - Frequently Asked Questions

Caitlin Keating-Bitonti and Eva Lipiec authored this CRS report (3 November 2022): 'Ocean Acidification: Frequently Asked Questions'.

Download CRS_Report_Ocean_Acid_FAQ_3Nov2022.pdf

Click on the graphics to enlarge them.

Summary
The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Chemical reactions between CO2 and water can change the pH of seawater (pH is a measure of water’s acidity or basicity). The current shift in the chemistry of seawater is toward a lower pH, commonly referred to as ocean acidification (OA). Scientific consensus is that rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere will continue to contribute to OA globally, primarily affecting the ocean’s surface waters. 

Some U.S. regions are experiencing impacts from OA (e.g., coastal waters of Oregon), and scientists expect that nearly all U.S. coastlines and open ocean waters will experience impacts of OA by 2100. OA also has negatively affected some marine organisms, such as reef-building corals and shellfish, and may affect others in the future. These impacts have had consequences for U.S. fisheries and aquaculture. Future OA’s economic impacts may include higher risks of storm damage to coastal communities and loss of tourism revenue from OA-caused degradation of coral reefs. 

Congress has authorized federal agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency, to support activities that aim to adapt to and mitigate OA impacts. In 2009, Congress passed the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act (FOARAM; 33 U.S.C. §§3701 et seq.), which, among other things, established the federal Interagency Working Group on Ocean Acidification (IWGOA) to coordinate OA activities across the federal government. IWGOA’s work includes studying OA’s potential impact on marine species and ecosystems as well as identifying adaptation and mitigation strategies. 

Congress continues to show interest in OA. In 2022, Congress enacted the Coastal and Ocean Acidification Research and Innovation Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-167, Title VI, Subtitle E), which amended FOARAM. The amendments added acidification of coastal waters as a concern to be addressed; established an advisory board to the IWGOA; emphasized research on OA adaptation and mitigation strategies, the compounding effects of OA with other environmental stressors, and the socioeconomic impacts of OA; and authorized appropriations for NOAA and the National Science Foundation to conduct OA activities. 

Also in 2022, Congress provided funding to NOAA for OA activities in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103). During the 117th Congress, Members have introduced and considered other bills related to OA, some of which focused on examining and addressing the impacts of OA, among other activities. Proposed FY2023 appropriations bills would provide NOAA with increased funding compared with FY2022 levels and additional OA-related directives. 

What Is Ocean Acidification? 
Atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), continuously diffuse into the surface of the ocean. Dissolved gases in the surface of the ocean are in near equilibrium with gases in the atmosphere. Thus, as more CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, the surface of the ocean takes up more CO2. The increased uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the ocean alters the chemistry of seawater by decreasing its pH in a process referred to as ocean acidification, or OA (Figure 1).

Screen Shot 2022-11-27 at 1.44.28 PM Screen Shot 2022-11-27 at 1.48.27 PM

 OA alters seawater chemistry following a series of chemical reactions. When atmospheric CO2 dissolves into water (H2O), it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). Some of the carbonic acid breaks up in ocean water, producing free hydrogen ions (H+). As the number of free hydrogen ions increases, the pH of the ocean decreases and the water becomes more acidic. The prevailing global average pH (a measure of hydrogen ion concentration) of water near the ocean surface is around 8.1, with regional variations. 

How Might Ocean Acidification Change over the 21st Century? 
Over the past two centuries, the average pH of water near the ocean surface has decreased by almost 0.1 unit. That change represents a 26% increase in the concentration of free hydrogen ions dissolved in seawater, because the pH scale is logarithmic (i.e., water with a pH of 8.0 is 10 times less acidic than water with a pH of 7.0 and 100 times less acidic than water with a pH of 6.0). 

Modeling studies project that OA will continue over the 21st century, but the rate of OA likely will depend on the rate of atmospheric CO2 emissions. Under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s scenario involving a doubling of the concentration of atmospheric CO2 by 2050 with no additional climate change policies, models project that average surface ocean pH may decrease by 0.4 units by the year 2100 (Figure 2). However, using a scenario in which CO2 emissions reach net zero by 2050 or shortly thereafter, models project that average surface ocean pH may decrease by less than 0.1 unit by 2050 and may rise slightly in the second half of the 21st century (Figure 2). Figure 2 also shows the projected pathway of ocean surface pH for other CO2 emissions scenarios in modeling studies

Screen Shot 2022-11-27 at 1.52.13 PM

Model projections of average global OA changes, such as the projections shown in Figure 2, are driven primarily by atmospheric CO2 simulations. In general, the global trend would reflect surface pH decline with increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Regional seawater properties may influence the surface pH value, resulting in geographic variations in OA. See “What Factors Influence Ocean Acidification?” for a further discussion on the factors that may amplify regional variations in seawater pH. 

Cutting to the chase...

What Are Recent Congressional Actions Addressing Ocean Acidification? }
In 2022, Congress enacted the Coastal and Ocean Acidification Research and Innovation Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-167, Title VI, Subtitle E), which amended FOARAM. The amendments included 

 The addition of a coastal acidification definition and broadening of agency activities to consider coastal acidification: 

 The establishment of an advisory board to IWGOA '

A greater research focus on OA adaptation and mitigation strategies, on how OA may interact with other environmental stressors, and on the socioeconomic impacts of OA 

 Authorization of appropriations for FY2023 through FY2027 

In FY2022, Congress appropriated $16 million to NOAA for the Integrated Ocean Acidification Program. Language accompanying the FY2022 appropriations act directed the program to prioritize efforts on “understanding, monitoring, and mitigating coastal ocean acidification, especially where it impacts fisheries and aquaculture”; to provide grants to nonfederal partners to operate “regional-scale research and education centers to address the impacts” of OA; and to establish a prize competition to “stimulate innovation” to advance understanding, research, or monitoring of OA and its impacts or to develop management or adaptation options for responding to OA. 

Screen Shot 2022-11-27 at 2.07.09 PM

Other bills regarding OA have been introduced in the 117th Congress. Some would direct the Secretary of Commerce or NOAA to work with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine the impact of OA and other environmental stressors on estuarine environments. Another bill would direct NOAA to support state and local OA vulnerability assessments and strategic research planning related to OA and its impacts on coastal communities, among other OA activities. Some bills would include OA and its impacts as part of broader climate change impacts or physical risks to be addressed in certain ways. In addition, proposed language to accompany House and Senate appropriations acts for FY2023 would increase funding for NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Acidification Program.The House committee report would support a prize competition to stimulate OA-related innovation, and the Senate draft explanatory statement would direct NOAA to work with nonfederal entities on research to complete FOARAM-mandated federal vulnerability assessments.

Enjoy!

Today's Tune - 25 November 2022. Each time Jimmy Buffett performs 'Margaritaville' he adds comments. This version is one of my favorites - it's got the famous lost verse ('Old men in tank tops...'). Recorded in Key West. Enjoy #BlackFriday! tinyurl.com/45fwvpua #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune- 24 November 2022. I give thanks for Mary Frances - cara mia! I love Jay Black (aka David Blatt or 'The Voice') of Jay & The Americans singing 'Cara Mia'. Here are 2 versions (1965) & almost 50 years later. Jay died (2021) @ 82. youtu.be/oQqDGEIhVxE #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 23 November 2022. Remember Status Quo? 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' was their sole US hit (#12) in 1968. They have existed for 60 years and still get around having lots of 'Fun Fun Fun' jamming with The Beach Boys. Great! youtu.be/1UooD6GN9Gs #aquadocaudio

Today's Tunes - 22 November 2022. It has REALLY been ages since I heard this! Pacific Gas and Electric's (later changed to PG & E) 'Are You Ready' from 1970. I have this on vinyl. It was played on a @SiriusXM - sometimes they come through. youtu.be/5MR1LBEJ-ok #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 21 November 2022. Haven't heard 'Ride Like The Wind' by Christopher Cross for some time. Great intro - Top 40 DJs often talked over it! Love Michael McDonald's vocals. youtu.be/ur8ftRFb2Ac #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 20 November 2022. Bob Kuban and the In-Men were from the St.Louis area. They reminded me a lot of Bill Deal & The Rhondels (VA) with their songs, 'The Cheater' (#12), followed by 'The Teaser' (#70). youtu.be/XwW-Zse4TJI #aquadocaudio

CRS InFocus Report: Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) - Frequently Asked Questions

Carol Hardy Vincent assembled this CRS InFocus report (23 November 2022): 'Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) - Frequently Asked Questions'.

Download CRS_InFocus_Report_LCWF_FAQ_23Nov2022

I have pasted the entire report below.

What Is the Land and Water Conservation Fund?
The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (LWCF Act; 54 U.S.C. §§200301 et seq.) was enacted to help preserve, develop, and ensure access to outdoor recreation resources. The law created the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) in the Department of the Treasury as a dedicated funding source to implement its stated outdoor recreation goals. Similar to other special funds in the federal budget, the LWCF is an accounting mechanism to link dedicated receipts with the spending of those receipts.

How Does the LWCF Get Revenue?
The LWCF Act credits the LWCF with revenues totaling $900 million annually. The revenues come from three sources: (1) surplus federal property sales, (2) the federal motorboat fuel tax, and (3) revenues from oil and gas leases on the U.S. outer continental shelf (OCS). Since the early 1990s, nearly all revenues deposited in the LWCF have been from OCS receipts.

In addition to the $900 million, the LWCF receives 12.5% of the revenues from qualified OCS leases, up to a specified cap, under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA; P.L. 109-432, Div. C, §105). The maximum is $125 million annually in most years.

Is LWCF Funding Discretionary or Mandatory?
All revenue in the LWCF is available without subsequent appropriation and thus is mandatory spending. Prior to the enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA; P.L. 116-152), the revenue under the LWCF Act was available only if appropriated in subsequent law and thus was considered discretionary spending. The revenue under GOMESA has always been mandatory.

What Can Money in the LWCF Be Used For?
Of the total funding under the LWCF Act and GOMESA, the LWCF Act mandates that not less than 40% is to be used for “federal purposes” and not less than 40% is to be used to provide “financial assistance to states” (54 U.S.C. §200304(b)). The primary federal purpose is land acquisition by the four major federal land management agencies: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and National Park Service (NPS). Of the annual appropriations under the LWCF Act, a portion (not less than 3% or $15.0 million, whichever is greater) is to be used for acquisitions that foster access to federal land for recreational purposes (54 U.S.C. §200306(c)).

With regard to “financial assistance to states,” the LWCF Act sets out a state matching grant program for outdoor recreation (54 U.S.C. §200305). It provides for formula (traditional) grants. Appropriations laws also have funded competitive grants to states. (For more information on formula and competitive grants, see “How Does the State Outdoor Recreation Grant Program Work?”)

In addition, the LWCF can be used for “accounts and programs” that received appropriations from the LWCF under P.L. 116-94, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (54 U.S.C. §200303(a)). That law contained appropriations for the Forest Legacy Program, Section 6 of the Endangered Species Act (i.e., Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund grants), the American Battlefield Protection Program, and the Department of the Interior’s Appraisal and Valuation Services Office.

The $900 million in revenue under the LWCF Act can be used for all purposes discussed in this section (e.g., land acquisition, outdoor recreation grants to states, and other programs). By contrast, revenue under GOMESA is directed only to the formula grant program under “financial assistance to states.” (Formula grants also have received funding under the LWCF Act.) Figure 1 shows the historical LWCF appropriations by major purpose.

How Is the $900 Million Under the LWCF Act Allocated?
The LWCF Act prescribes a procedure for allocating the $900 million in annual revenue under the LWCF Act (54 U.S.C. §200303(c)). The President is to include “detailed account, program, and project allocations” for the full amount available, generally as part of the annual budget submission to Congress. However, the law also provides that appropriations acts may specify an “alternate allocation,” including “allocations by account, program, and project.” If alternate allocations are not enacted before enactment of “the Act making full-year appropriations for the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies for the applicable fiscal year,” the President has the authority to make allocations.

Is There Any Money Currently in the LWCF?
Yes. From FY1965 through FY2022, about $43.9 billion has been credited to the LWCF under both the LWCF Act and GOMESA. Nearly half that amount—about $21.6 billion—has been appropriated, leaving an unappropriated balance of approximately $22.3 billion in the fund. (Figures were derived primarily from data provided by the Department of the Interior, Office of Budget.) The balance accumulated because through FY2020, the $900 million in revenue that accrued annually under the LWCF Act was available only if appropriated in subsequent law; annual appropriations laws typically appropriated considerably less. The balance is to remain credited to the fund until appropriated or otherwise reduced by law.

What Changes Were Made Recently to the LWCF?
GAOA made the $900 million in annual revenue for the fund (under the LWCF Act) available as mandatory spending; before GAOA, these funds were available only if appropriated in subsequent law. GAOA also provided direction on the purposes for which the funding can be used. Further, the law set out a procedure for allocating the funding, delineating the roles of the President and of Congress. (See “How Is the $900 Million Allocated?”)

Section 3001 of P.L. 116-9, the John D. Dingell, Jr., Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, made permanent the LWCF Act provisions that provide for $900 million in revenue to be deposited in the fund annually (54 U.S.C. §200302). To foster parity between federal and state purposes, the law provided that not less than 40% of funding be used for each of “federal purposes” and “financial assistance to states” and specified a portion of funding for recreational access acquisitions (see “What Can Money in the LWCF Be Used For?”). Other amendments identified criteria for agencies to consider in selecting lands to acquire, such as management efficiencies and recreational value, and altered the apportionment of funds for the state grant program to treat the U.S. territories and the District of Columbia (DC) the same as states.

Does the LWCF Authorize Agencies to Acquire Land?
The LWCF is primarily a funding source for land acquisitions. The LWCF Act bars appropriations from the fund from being used for acquisition “unless the acquisition is otherwise authorized by law,” although appropriations can be used for pre-acquisition work under certain circumstances (54 U.S.C. §200306(b)). The four major federal land management agencies’ authorities to acquire lands derive from other laws and differ among the agencies; they range from relatively broad general authority (BLM) to no general authority (NPS).

How Does the State Outdoor Recreation Grant Program Work?
The LWCF provides grants to states (including U.S. territories and DC) for outdoor recreation purposes. Federal project’s total costs. The state project sponsor bears the remaining cost.

NPS administers two types of grants—formula (traditional) and competitive. The LWCF Act sets out the formula grant program under “financial assistance to states” (54 U.S.C. §200305). The program receives appropriations under both the LWCF Act and GOMESA. The Secretary of the Interior divides appropriations among states in accordance with a formula in the LWCF Act (54 U.S.C. §200305(b)) that requires a portion of the appropriations to be divided equally among states. The remaining funds are apportioned based on need, as determined by the Secretary, taking into account certain factors. In practice, state population has been the biggest factor. States can use formula grants for outdoor recreation planning, acquisition of lands and waters, and facility development.

The LWCF Act does not specify a competitive grant program, although appropriations laws since FY2014 have provided LWCF Act funding for competitive grants. (Competitive grants do not receive funding under GOMESA.) NPS has awarded grants pursuant to these appropriations through an Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program. Under grant announcements for the program, states can use the grants for land acquisition or development in urbanized areas meeting certain criteria. Criteria have prioritized areas underserved in terms of outdoor recreation and areas with sizeable populations that are economically disadvantaged, among other factors.

Both formula and competitive grants must meet certain criteria prescribed in the LWCF Act. Criteria include a requirement for states to use lands for outdoor recreation in perpetuity, except with the Secretary of the Interior’s approval for a conversion (54 U.S.C. §200305(f)(3)).

What Are Issues for Congress Related to the LWCF?
Various issues have been under debate. Opinions differ regarding how to allocate LWCF funds among current programs, and there is debate over whether to alter the fund’s purposes to broader, narrower, or different priorities (e.g., facility maintenance). Another area of focus is whether to codify in law the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program, which makes competitive grants to states for outdoor recreation, and the terms and conditions of any such program. Congress also continues to oversee the Administration’s development and implementation of LWCF guidance, the selection of projects that receive LWCF monies, and administration of the program.
