Bring our short film, 'Changing Waters', to your community! 🎥 'Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification' breaks down the complex issue of ocean acidification and shows how it is already affecting marine ecosystems, food security, coastal communities and economies around the world. To help make this conversation accessible and actionable to everyone, we will be releasing a screening kit so you can share the film with your community. 📣 This is a tool for educators, advocates, decision-makers, and community organizers looking to turn awareness into action. Sign up to be the first to receive the screening kit: shorturl.at/kvi4j #ChangingWaters #OceanAcidification #ClimateEducation #CommunityEngagement #ScienceToAction

Please join us at #UNOC3 for this event, where we will explore how we can encourage a diversity of #oceanacidification actions, by using a framework for identifying useful information and co-designing ocean acidification projects that meet different decision-making needs.
🔍 We've been working with the @UNOceanDecade #OARS program to identify the most useful OA science and data for decision makers. Join us at #UNOC2025 as we unveil our recommendations. 🎙️ Science to Action on SDG 14.3 🗓️ June 9 @ 2pm-5pm 📍 Le Negresco hotel RSVP 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
