Dear UN Atlas Member,

This month we feature a rich and varied range of material -- from documents on impacts of ocean fertilization and acidification on marine biodiversity to information on Chile and the devastating earthquake damage to announcements for upcoming events -- scan the new highlights below to learn more.

World Health Day, observed on April 7, focuses on urbanization and health this year. We are at a historic turning point where over half the world's population lives in urban areas - most within 150km of a coastal area. In fact, eight of the top ten largest cities in the world are located by the coast. Find out more on oceans and human health and coastal settlements.

If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it.

Thank you,

The UN Atlas of the Oceans Editors
