We will work with primary affected stakeholders like fishermen, tribes, and coastal communities to educate them about the issues, provide solutions, and help them speak up for their best interests (and the oceans!). Including at least 10 workshops per year and publishing our Ocean Acidification Report 3-4x/yr: which mails to approx ~7000 people in over 100 countries and covers the latest news and research in ocean acidification and other climate impacts on the ocean, as well as providing links to resources and webinars. We will also create our own OA Action plan. We will continue to enhance our own knowledge through research, conferences, symposiums, and other means, and communicate that knowledge where it's needed most. We will also produce op-eds to be published in newspapers, magazines, and online. We will seek funding from foundations and other donors to work on ocean-climate projects.
