Short summary
Tiny sea snails called pteropods build delicate shells that dissolve as the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, while warming shrinks the areas where they can live. Using satellite-based ocean data from 1995 to 2025, we built two indicators that track, worldwide, how much shell damage occurs and how much suitable habitat remains. Over three decades, shell damage rose and suitable habitat shrank, confirming that both acidification and warming are reshaping where these animals can survive.

The coastal Ocean Data Analysis Product in North America (CODAP-NA, Version 2026) substantially increased both the spatial and temporal coverage of coastal biogeochemical measurements across North American continental shelves. This version comprises 446 cruises, 31,864 hydrographic profiles, and 195,489 discrete data records covering continental shelf environments from Alaska to Mexico in the west and from Canada to the Caribbean in the east from 1981 to 2024.

We provide a new multi-stressor data product that allows us to characterize the seasonality of temperature, O2, and CO2 in the southern Salish Sea and delivers insights into the impacts of major marine heatwave and precipitation anomalies on regional ocean acidification and hypoxia. We also describe the present-day frequencies of temperature, O2, and ocean acidification conditions that cross thresholds of sensitive regional species that are economically or ecologically important.

The Salish cruise data product provides 2008–2018 oceanographic data from the southern Salish Sea and nearby coastal sampling stations. Temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrient, and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements from 715 oceanographic profiles will facilitate further study of ocean acidification, hypoxia, and marine heatwave impacts in this region. Three subsets of the compiled datasets from 35 cruises are available with consistent formatting and multiple commonly used units.

Ocean alkalinity enhancement is a promising approach for long-term anthropogenic carbon dioxide sequestration, required to avoid catastrophic climate change. In this chapter we describe its impacts on seawater carbonate chemistry speciation and highlight pitfalls that need to be avoided during sampling, storage, measurements, and calculations.

Editorial statement
This paper warrants selection as a highlight due to its comprehensive synthesis of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) impacts on marine calcifiers, offering essential insights for understanding potential ecological risks of this climate mitigation approach. By leveraging data from 96 studies and capturing responses across eleven biological groups, the paper establishes a predictive framework for biological responses to OAE. This work addresses a critical gap in OAE research, providing a precautionary guideline that can inform future studies, guide regional applications, and communicate risks to stakeholders.

Short summary
The environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) are unknown. Our synthesis, based on 68 collected studies with 84 unique species, shows that 35 % of species respond positively, 26 % respond negatively, and 39 % show a neutral response to alkalinity addition. Biological thresholds were found from 50 to 500 µmol kg−1 NaOH addition. A precautionary approach is warranted to avoid potential risks, while current regulatory framework needs improvements to assure safe biological limits.
