Updating what we know about ocean acidification and key global challenges

2012-09-27

It is amazing to think that just ten years ago hardly anyone had heard of ocean acidification. It is now much more widely understood that the increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we are emitting into the air by our activities is reacting with the ocean to alter its chemistry and push it along the scale towards acidity and is, amongst other effects, reducing the availability of carbonate ions needed by many marine animals and plants to build their shells and skeletons.

The Management of Natural Coastal Carbon Sinks

2009-11-13

This report focuses on the management of natural coastal carbon sinks. The production of the report has been stimulated by an apparent lack of recognition and focus on on coastal marine ecosystems to complement activies already well advanced on land to address the best practice management of carbon sinks.
