31 Oct 2013
Ocean acidification research
is growing rapidly. The Third
Symposium on the Ocean in
a High-CO2 World (Monterey,
California, September 2012)
convened 540 experts from
37 countries to discuss the
results of research into ocean
acidification, its impacts on
ecosystems, socio-economic
consequences and implications
for policy. More than twice as
many scientists participated
in the Monterey symposium
compared to the previous
symposium four years earlier.
Here we present a summary
of the state of knowledge on
ocean acidification based on the
latest research presented at the
symposium and beyond.
