Ocean Acidification: The what, where, how, why and what next on this major ocean issue
In the last 200 years,听the ocean has taken up around 30% of all CO2听emissions and this absorption has altered the production of calcium carbonate in oceanic waters, causing the听phenomenon known as Ocean Acidification (OA).听Our new web story provides a high-level look at all impacts of this problem, where it is happening, and what needs to happen听next.听

Mitigation alone is not enough
Mitigation actions by themselves are听unable to avoid all consequences associated with OA. There is a need to plan for and implement adaptation measures to alleviate harm.听Activities focused on strengthening resilience and enhancing adaptive capacity will provide the greatest opportunities for alleviating the impacts of OA that are not prevented by mitigation. These include the creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) which can directly remediate OA via the preservation of marine vegetation, that, in turn, can buffer against changes in water chemistry.听Adaptive capacity in fisheries can be greatly increased by protecting and enhancing fish stock abundance through the reduction of non-acidification related stressors, including overfishing.
The听Ocean Acidification International Reference User Group
The听web story also goes through the history of OA, including听the work of the听Ocean Acidification International Reference User Group, an expert group founded in 2005 and funded by听the Prince Albert II Foundation. The Group has used the latest findings on ocean acidification to raise awareness of the need to address the issue through targeted policy interventions.听
