“Meeting students, public and scientists to talk about acidification”

SPECIAL EVENTS

WORKSHOP “Science and Industry: how are they addressing the impacts of Ocean Acidification on Aquaculture and Fisheries?”

Sponsored by the initiative “Ocean Acidification and other ocean Changes – Impacts and Solutions”

logo oacis

The ecosystem services and their benefits that humans derive from the ocean are threatened by diverse and numerous climate change drivers, one of them being ocean acidification. Ocean acidification has been shown to have negative effects on aquaculture and fisheries at global scale, with proven impacts on shell and biomass production of oyster farmed in Oregon (USA) and New South Wales in Australia, upon mussels in Patagonian ecosystems of southern Chile, scallops in Perú and Chile along the Humboldt current, and also on survival and exoskeleton dissolution of Dungeness crabs along California current and the fish Dover sole on the West Coast of the US. However, ocean acidification is spatially variable, and its impacts have different expressions which increase the vulnerability of local and regional communities relying on production of aquaculture and fisheries resources along coastal ecosystems. To address these problems, science must be coordinated and aligned with the actors of the aquaculture and fisheries industries, first explaining to interest groups the challenges of ocean acidification on marine resources, then describe research and monitoring of carbonate system and associated impacts, and finally providing tools and techniques as adaptation strategies to confront acidification impacts on marine resources and ecosystems. The objective of this workshop is to exchange knowledge and experiences between representatives of the academy, as well as the aquaculture and fishing industry to open collaborative work opportunities that allow us to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of marine ecosystems.

CON-CIENCIA EN OA
PARA LA SOCIEDAD Y LOS TOMADORES DE DECISIÓN

Con-science in OA
for society and decision makers.

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions have raised CO2 levels in the atmosphere, causing an increase in the ocean dissolved CO2, causing a decrease in pH, also referred to as ocean acidification OA. In this context, we know that the acidity of the sea plays a fundamental role for organisms, and in particular for calcifying species such as bivalves, and crustaceans, which are cultivated in coastal areas. The science of OA is important, but it is also important to bring knowledge to action, social awareness, and public policies for policymakers.
The objective of this event is to transmit in a very simple language the science of acidification and how to bring this to public policy through the lessons learned in Mexico.

El aumento de las emisiones antropogénicas de CO2 ha elevado los niveles de CO2 en la atmósfera, causando un aumento del CO2 disuelto en los océanos, disminuyendo el pH proceso conocido como acidificación de los océanos (AO). En este contexto, sabemos que la acidez del mar tiene un rol fundamental para los organismos, y en particular en especies calcificadoras como bivalvos y crustáceos, las cuales son cultivadas en las zonas costeras. Es importante la ciencia de la OA pero también llevar el conocimiento a la acción, conciencia social y políticas públicas que acompañen en la toma de decisiones.
El objetivo de este evento es transmitir en un lenguaje muy sencillo todo lo relacionado con la ciencia de la acidificación y cómo llevar esto a la política pública a través de las lecciones aprendidas en México.
