Ocean Acidification and Alkalinity Enhancement: Global Case Studies on Impacts & Local Opportunities
As the ocean absorbs atmospheric CO2, acidification threatens coral reefs, fisheries, and coastal communities worldwide. This session presents the latest science on these impacts alongside global case studies examining the potential role of ocean alkalinity enhancement in supporting adaptation strategies for vulnerable coastal communities. Scientists, government representatives, and ocean advocates will share diverse perspectives and explore collaboration opportunities.
