Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC)

The Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) is a global initiative aimed at addressing the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the oceans, which leads to ocean acidification. This phenomenon affects marine life, especially organisms with shells or skeletons, like corals and some shellfish. The OA-ICC collects and shares scientific data, promotes research, and facilitates international collaboration to understand and mitigate the impacts of ocean acidification. By bringing together scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders, it seeks to protect ocean ecosystems and ensure sustainable ocean resources for future generations.
