From February 26 to March 3, 2017 the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) held its biennial Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Honolulu, Hawai′i. NCCOS scientists and sponsored investigators shared their research results with thousands of limnologists and oceanographers from around the world. Topics included harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, science to management applications, and ocean acidification. In addition to individual presentations, NCCOS scientists and sponsored investigators led special oral sessions on ocean acidification and freshwater-marine harmful algal blooms respectively.

NCCOS research presentations and oral sessions include (editors note: As of January 2021, abstract links below are no longer available):
