To wrap up at #HighCO2VI, we supported the OARS Secretariat in welcoming members from the broader research community to learn more about the OARS Framework for Action and what they can do to contribute to the programme under the #OceanDecade 🌊 🦑🧪

An evening of film, Haiku, art, and ocean in Wellington! 🌊 🦑🧪

We held a screening of our short film Changing Waters at Soundings Theatre in Te Papa during the #HighCO2VI 🇳🇿

Attendees got to write ocean-inspired haiku and decorate tote bags featuring beautiful designs of our taonga species

🌊 🦑🧪 We organised in collaboration with ICONEC the event "Marine Policy 101 for Early Career Scientists" as part of #HighCO2VI 🇳🇿

It was inspiring to see the next generation of practitioners designing their science for practical decision-making purposes on #OceanAcidification!

Wonderful way to kick-off the #HighCO2VI in Wellington 🇳🇿
Today's session brought together partners from the Asia Pacific region to participate in a day-long workshop.

The #Pacific Island Region and SE #Asia have a long history of leadership on #OA science.
Here's to building a regional roadmap!

In the Pacific, the ocean is food, protection, and culture - and #OceanAcidification threatens all three. 🌊

This October, the region hosts the world, from Pre-COP31 in Fiji to #HighCO2VI in Wellington. Here's why it matters 🧵👇

🇫🇯Fiji → 🇳🇿Wellington → 🌐COP31

Here's where the OA Alliance will be this October. Two weeks, two Pacific moments, and a clear goal: moving from science to action on ocean acidification across global climate agendas.
