GOA-ON

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.

New Zealand OA Scientist Wins MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize

Congratulations and our thanks to Dr. Chris Cornwall, a Rutherford University Fellow at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington and GOA-ON Pier2Peer mentor, who won the 2020 Prime Minister’s MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize for his research into impacts of ocean acidification on seaweeds, calcifying algae, and corals in New Zealand and globally. A quote from Dr. Cornwall underscores the importance of OA research: "The public isn’t as aware of what’s happening in the marine environment – if a forest burns down it’s on the news but what’s happening in the marine environment is not as obvious. It’s a good time to highlight the changes that are occurring."
