Roadmap to Oceans and Climate Action (ROCA) Initiative

     · “The ROCA initiative, which spanned from 2016-2021, was a multi-stakeholder initiative created

       to advance the ocean and climate agenda.”

National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI)

Ocean & Climate initiatives Alliance

Ocean & Climate Platform

     · “The OCP now gathers more than 100 members – research institutes, NGOs, aquariums, private sector,

       French institutions and international agencies, local authorities – working together in order to spread

       the following message : “a healthy ocean for a protected climate”. If the ocean is particularly vulner-

       able to climate change, it also is a source of mitigation and adaptation solutions.”

     · In reverse chronological order

Impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms: quantifying sensitivities and interaction with warming

     · 2013  ~  Kristy J. Kroeker et al.  ~  Global Change Biology

     · Explores the variety of marine organism taxa that are impacted by ocean acidification

     · Analyzes the general trend of reduced survival, growth, and development for marine taxa

     · Examines species abundance patterns for physiological effects on marine taxa

Predicted habitat shifts of Pacific top predators in a changing climate

     · 2012  ~  Elliot L. Hazen et al.  ~  Nature Climate Change

     · Explores predator-prey relationships in oceanic ecosystems

     · Employs climate models to demonstrate the displacement of prey populations and their ranges

     · Explains how these changes impact the hunting ranges of predators.

Sea-Level Rise and Its Impact on Coastal Zones

     · 2010  ~  Robert J. Nicholls & Anny Cazenave  ~  Science

     · Explores multiple factors that contribute to sea level rise.

     · Explains the impacts that sea level rise has on the environment.

     · Provides an optimistic outlook on methods to adapt and mitigate sea level rise.

Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem

     · 2009  ~  Scott C. Doney et al.  ~  Annual Review of Marine Science

     · Explains chemical processes of the ocean and factors that can harm coral reefs.

     · Explains how coral reefs have naturally adapted to ocean acidification.

     · Provides a timeline of how this problem has significantly increased in recent years.

Twentieth-Century Sea Surface Temperature Trends

     · 1997  ~  Mark A. Cane et al.  ~  Science

     · Provides a timeline of how sea surface temperatures have increased over the past 100 years.

     · Demonstrates sea level rise through several climate models that represent both anthropogenic

       climate change compared to natural warming.

     · Analyzes potential counterarguments to their climate models and explains why their findings are accurate.

The sea around us

     · 1951  ~  Rachel Carson  ~  Oxford University Press

     · Provides detailed descriptions of the natural beauty of the ocean.

     · Explains how the industrial revolution and technological advancement have led to harm to the ocean.

     · One of the most influential and relevant books about nature and human relationship to the environment.
