The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is currently working on the elaboration of a systematic review document on the impacts of ocean acidification on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. A draft updated synthesis has been prepared with the support of a group of international experts and is now open for review. Comments and suggestions are welcome before 28 February 2014 and should be sent to the CBD Secretariat (secretariat(at)cbd.int or fax +1-514-288-6588).



The letter posted, soliciting reviews, is adressed not to individuals but to “Parties, other governments, and relevant organisations”
Hi John,
it is true that the letter mentions ‘Parties, Governments and relevant organisations’, but we have been informed that the latter category includes scientific organisations (mentioned in the footnote) – and that comments from scientists would be very welcome.
