Integrating OA Monitoring Across “Mainstream” Climate Policy and Priorities

Monitoring for OA can tell us how the ocean is changing in response to climate change and how this may impact marine life, coastal communities and local economies.  Some areas will experience more rapid change than others.  Governments are increasing local climate change knowledge and preparedness by incorporating ocean and coastal acidification monitoring into marine management strategies.

Hear from partners in Maine, Argentina, New Zealand, Hawai’i and British Columbia about the challenges and opportunities for mainstreaming ocean and coastal acidification monitoring across existing climate, environment or shoreline directives.
