ONLINE EVENT from the WORLD OCEAN OBSERVATORY
On November 13th- 14th , 2006, The World Ocean Observatory
<http://www.thew2o.net/> will present an online, interactive web-cast on
Ocean Acidification. This is a unique opportunity for students,
educators and interested individuals to participate in the first
demonstration of an ongoing series of global online events to explore
ocean issues. Those who attend this 45 minute event hosted in Australia
will participate in a real-time interactive presentations and
discussions with leading scientists around the world.
The basic chemistry of our oceans is changing as they absorb carbon
dioxide released into the atmosphere by human activities. This decrease
in the ocean's pH and the resulting increase in acidity is called ocean
acidification. Present evidence suggests that dramatic changes in the
marine environment over the next 100-200 years can be avoided only with
early and deep reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
Please find below detailed description of the World Ocean Forum's Ocean
Acidification Online Event.
We invite you to join us for our first event broadcast on Monday,
November 13th , 2006 at 5:30pm Eastern Standard Time. We have

place of exchange for global information, education and public discourse
about the ocean. It serves as an independent forum and focus for ocean
affairs. Its intent is to communicate the full spectrum of ocean issues
- climate, conservation, biology and ecology, fresh water, food, energy,
commerce and transportation, public health, finance, governance,
recreation and culture - to citizens worldwide as a realization that the
sea connects all things.
