A word from the founder, Jean-Pierre Gattuso, CNRS-Sorbonne Université Laboratoire d’Océanographie:
I could not have imagined, back in 2006, that the blog I started would still exist 20 years later! At the time, ocean acidification was not a prominent topic on the research agenda. It gained momentum with the European Project on Ocean Acidification, followed by many other projects, both small and large. I am deeply grateful to the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre and everyone who has maintained the news stream over the years, beginning with Lina Hansson and continuing with the current caretaker, Carolina Galdino.
