ABOUT US
CANADA'S OCEAN ACIDIFICATION COMMUNITY
Who are we?
The Ocean Acidification Community of Practice is an interdisciplinary group dedicated to sharing information and resources related to ocean acidification. We strive to provide a space for discussion and co-production of ocean acidification knowledge across Canada. Our members consist of individuals from government, aquaculture, fisheries, academia, and Indigenous community leadership, as well as students and members of the public.
What do we do?
Our goals are to:
-
Connect and coordinate across all sectors, disciplines, and regions to share expertise, data, and resources
-
Identify pressing needs for ocean acidification research and knowledge
-
Create a collaborative and supportive environment for groups affected by ocean acidification
How are we funded?
Our community was initiated in 2018 and is sponsored by Canada's Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response (MEOPAR) Network. MEOPAR Communities of Practice provide a supportive environment, bringing together interdisciplinary groups focused on common issues to share expertise, foster best practices, and identify national knowledge gaps.
