SUMMARY:BC Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia (OAH) Action Forum
DESCRIPTION:On March 3\, 2026\, the BC Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia (OAH) Action Forum\, hosted by the Tula Foundation\, will be held at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo.  \n​This gathering will unite scientists\, government representatives\, Indigenous groups\, community members\, and members of the seafood industry to reflect on progress made through BC’s OAH initiatives. Organizers aim to chart the next phase toward protecting the province’s marine ecosystems and coastal economies from ocean acidification and hypoxia\, two major stressors associated with climate change.  \n​Ocean acidification and hypoxia pose major risks to BC’s seafood industries\, with projected losses in the hundreds of millions by 2050. In response\, the Province of BC released the BC OAH Action Plan in 2023\, developed with input from scientists\, communities\, Indigenous groups\, and government representatives. Since its release\, the Province has invested $1.7 million into 11 OAH research and mitigation projects through the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program. \n​The goals of the forum are to: \n\nAssess achievements and opportunities within the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program;\nSummarize ongoing OAH mitigation efforts across all sectors;\nDocument accomplishments and remaining needs under the BC OAH Action Plan;\nBridge knowledge\, networks\, and efforts to foster long-term collaborations supporting sustainable OAH initiatives.\n\n​The forum and its outputs will be critical in identifying priority next steps to help safeguard coastal resources against OAH\, in alignment with the BC provincial governments Coastal Marine Strategy and Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy.There will be an online option for those unable to attend in person.  \n​To receive updates and registration details\, please complete the interest form at:  \nhttps://forms.gle/oiC56XGwqECq8dwD7
