GOA-ON is a collaborative international network to detect and understand the drivers of ocean acidification in estuarine-coastal-open ocean environments, the resulting impacts on marine ecosystems, and to make the information available to optimize modelling studies. The network is fundamental to providing early warning of the impacts of ocean acidification on natural ecosystems, wild and aquaculture fisheries, coastal protection, tourism and local economies. The network provides key input to communities, industry and governments seeking to develop action plans, best practices, and mitigation or adaptation strategies to address ocean acidification impacts.

IPCC AR6 Summary for Policymakers Released
Earlier this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the most up-to-date physical understanding of the climate system and climate change, stating: "It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land." Authors are "virtually certain" that global acidification of the surface ocean has been driven by anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and that the rate at which this will increase in the 21st century will be dependent on future CO2 emissions. Finally, authors indicate that anthropogenic CO2 removal could be employed to reverse surface ocean acidification (with high confidence).
