This job exists to provide project assistance and support in the management and implementation of the NZ Pacific Partnership on Ocean Acidification Project.

Nearly three years ago, I broke with conventional wisdom to note that there was ample reason to have hope for coral reefs despite the very obvious threats associated with global climate change, including both warming and acidification.

Barbados has made two major foreign policy moves on clean oceans, joining with New Zealand in the fight against acidified oceans and climate change.

The foundation of Kona’s underwater universe is its coral reef.

Ocean Acidification (OA), which is being labelled as the “evil twin” of climate change, has had a severe impact on these coral reefs, as well as on food security and community livelihoods.

On the occasion of the 50th Pacific Islands Forum, the United States is increasing contributions to the partnerships with the Pacific Islands with a pledge of $36.5 million in new foreign assistance.

Coastal communities have a stronger effect on local ocean acidification than previously believed...new measurements taken in California’s Monterey Bay show that it absorbs carbon dioxide emissions from the surrounding cities and agricultural lands, making it more acidic.
