Here are some of the latest happenings in the world of ocean acidification in Canada and beyond!
New in the Blog:
We interviewed Meghan Zulian, a Ph.D. candidate in the Ocean Climate lab at UC Davis & Bodega Marine Lab in California, for our latest edition to the "Scientist Spotlight" blog series. Meghan speaks about her current and past research and the lessons that she has learned about the science-policy interface. Her research interests encompass the impacts of changing oceans on ecologically, culturally, and economically important shellfish.

Ocean Week Canada:
Ocean Week Canada is Fast Approaching! If you are thinking of planning an event or are curious to know see the information below.
The following information is cross posted from the Ocean Week Canada Website.
From June 3 to 12, 2022, we’ll be celebrating Ocean Week Canada! It’s an annual national celebration of ocean events, learning, and engagement held during the week of World Ocean Day (June 8). Through these events and learning activities, we’re recognizing the important role the ocean plays in our everyday lives and how local waterways connect us all with the ocean. Help us raise public awareness and celebrate this connection to coastal areas, the ocean, and watersheds in Canada. Together, we can inspire action to ensure a healthy ocean for future generations.

5TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE OCEAN IN A HIGH CO2 WORLD:
Early Registration Deadline; June 3rd.
The following is cross-posted from the symposium website:
The 5th Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World is being organized by the Pedro Ruiz Gallo National University in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This Symposium follows the symposia in Paris in 2004, Monaco in 2008, Monterey in 2012, and Hobart in 2016, which were all key events for the international community of researchers studying ocean acidification and related stressors. The 5th symposia will maintain the traditional focus of the four previous symposia and look at ocean acidification and associated impacts on marine organisms, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles. Ocean acidification will be considered in combination with other global changes such as warming and deoxygenation. The Symposium is inter-disciplinary and contributions are expected to detail advances in observations, modelling, field and laboratory studies. Dedicated sessions will emphasize processes and impacts as well as consequences for humans and their potential responses through policy and management., For more information and to register visit their website by clicking here!
