Join Us for the Ocean Acidification Day of Action Webinar
The Coastal Acidification Networks (CANs) of the Mid-Atlantic, Gulf of America, Southeast, and Caribbean are pleased to host a webinar in recognition of Ocean Acidification Day of Action on January 8.
What is Ocean Acidification Day of Action? Ocean Acidification Day of Action was established by the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) to raise awareness about ocean acidification and the significance of the global average seawater pH of 8.1. While seawater remains alkaline, the decline from approximately 8.2 over the past 250 years reflects a 26% increase in acidity, driven largely by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. Now recognized as an international event, Ocean Acidification Day of Action highlights ongoing efforts to understand, mitigate, and adapt to the impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and economies.

Guest Speakers
Dr. Aurea Rodríguez Santiago, Founder and Director, Taller Ecológico de Puerto Rico
Dr. De’Marcus Robinson, Postdoctoral Fellow, Florida A&M University
Each speaker, alongside CAN coordinators, will deliver a 15-minute presentation highlighting their work and the actions they are taking to better understand and address the impacts of ocean acidification. The webinar will conclude with a public panel discussion and Q&A, creating space for dialogue on research, community engagement, and collaborative actions to advance ocean acidification awareness and solutions.
This webinar is open to researchers, managers, educators, students, and community members interested in learning more about ocean acidification and pathways for action.
