Consequently, France has decided a financial support (€ 800 000 Euros) for eight research projects about the main knowledge gaps on ocean acidification (monitoring, mapping and modelisation, study of the biological impacts coral reefs, phytoplancton, molluscs, fishes ...)
In kind participation by the research labs
Expected results in 2020
