By joining the OA Alliance and endorsing the Call to Action, members commit to creating a unique OA Action Plan that addresses one or more of the goals within the OA Alliance's Call to Action.
OA Action Plans describe real, tangible actions that members are taking—or will take—to better understand and respond to the threat of ocean acidification and other climate-ocean stressors and impacts. OA Action Plans include strategies for reducing carbon emissions and local land-based pollution, strengthening monitoring (including nearshore) to better understand and predict local conditions, investing in adaptive measures in partnership with industry or seafood dependent communities, and advancing information sharing strategies that help policy makers prepare and respond.
To facilitate the development of OA Action Plans, the OA Alliance has created this Action Toolkit as a guide.
