New blog post!

The Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (EGSL) is one of the largest and most productive estuarine/marine systems in the world. However, the EGSL is experiencing rapid changes to water conditions, including acidification, associated with climate change much faster than global averages. We interviewed Dr. Martine Lizotte (DFO), on her important work to monitor the changes in the EGSL and its real-world impacts on the vital ecosystems and fisheries in the region.

Nouvel article !

L’estuaire et le golfe du Saint-Laurent (EGSL) constituent l’un des systèmes estuariens et marins les plus vastes et les plus productifs au monde. Toutefois, l’EGSL subit des changements rapides de ses conditions hydrologiques, notamment une acidification, liée aux changements climatiques et beaucoup plus rapide que la moyenne mondiale. Nous avons interviewé la Dre Martine Lizotte (MPO) au sujet de son important travail de surveillance des changements dans l’EGSL et de leurs répercussions concrètes sur les écosystèmes et les pêcheries essentiels de la région.

Science meets art! We’re excited to share 7 illustrations from the British Columbia and action forum in March! These graphics tell a visual story of the important themes, messages, and conversations that happened throughout the day and that will help us chart next steps for action in BC!

Thanks to Jaye Bird Illustration for once again coming up with some stunning communication pieces!

📽️ What is ocean acidification + hypoxia?

For Earth Day, We’re sharing a short animated video that breaks down OAH in a B.C. context 🌊

A quick, place-based look at what’s happening in our oceans and why it matters here.

📽️ New video

We’re sharing a look at the Climate Ready B.C. Seafood Program and the work happening across the coast to better understand ocean acidification + hypoxia 🌊

This program supports projects that connect science, communities, and industry to respond to changing ocean conditions in B.C.

We're one week away from the BC and Action Forum in Nanaimo, BC! This gathering will unite scientists, government representatives, Indigenous groups, community members, and members of the seafood industry to reflect on progress made through BC’s OAH initiatives, such as the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program. Organizers aim to chart the next phase toward protecting the province’s marine ecosystems and coastal economies from OAH. 

In-person registration is now closed, but online registration is still open!

We are excited to announce the publication of our new paper "Ocean acidification in Canada: the current state of knowledge and pathways for action" in Frontiers in Marine Science! The paper synthesizes the current state of OA knowledge in Canada and provides recommendations to enhance OA knowledge and integration into decision-making in Canada.
 
Highlights:
>Map of Canada’s OA Resources
>Monitoring efforts
>Modelling and OA trends in Canada
>Biological responses
>Socioeconomic perspectives
>Policy frameworks
>Examples of OA actions in Canada
>Recommendations and pathways for OA action in Canada

Happening tomorrow! We're excited to see momentum building for action in Canada!

The side event, “Taking Science and Policy Action on Ocean Acidification” will occur on November 18 between 12:15pm-1:00pm at the Canadian Pavilion.

Hosted by the and , the event will spotlight actions taken across countries and emphasize the importance of addressing ocean acidification as part of the broader blue economy, including for seafood sovereignty and the sustainability of coastal livelihoods. 

The event will begin with a viewing of our short film, “Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification” and remarks from Associate Assistant Deputy Minister Michael Bonser, Environment and Climate Change, Canada.  

A panel discussion will follow with:

Mr. George Rushingisha Majagi, Researcher, Tanzanian Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI)

Mr. Anthony Bitegeko, Natural Resource Policy Analyst, Makah Tribal Organization

Professor Anjali Goswami, Chief Scientific Advisor, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, United Kingdom

Save the Date!

On March 3, 2026, the British Columbia Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Action Forum, hosted by the Tula Foundation, will be held in Nanaimo, BC!

Ocean acidification and hypoxia pose major risks to BC’s seafood industries. This gathering will unite scientists, government representatives, Indigenous groups, community members, and members of the seafood industry to reflect on progress made through BC’s OAH initiatives and chart next steps.
