It's our ocean acidification community's 6th Annual Day of Action. I'm grateful to work with a suite of forward-looking, caring, hard-working researchers & practitioners around the globe, & I'm looking forward to another jam-packed year of working together to address this issue!
The current pH level of the ocean is 8.1. Hence today, on 8 January, we hold our 6th #OADayofAction. Our global network remain committed as ever to fighting #OceanAcidification and finding solutions to this crisis. https://t.co/TV939FaV9u
