Description:

Although no serious impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms have been reported in the seas around Japan, ocean acidification is progressing at a rate faster than the global average, and future trends will be closely watched. In addition, there is concern about the impacts of coastal acidification due to the inflow of freshwater and substances from land areas to coastal areas. In this session, we will present monitoring results of ocean acidification in the seas around Japan, which include recent activities of the Japan Ocean Acidification Network (JOAN). We will also present future projections of impacts of ocean acidification based on numerical modeling, which are necessary as guidelines for planning future countermeasures.
