The OARS Framework for Action

The data, evidence, and information provided by the OARS scientific community is the foundation for any effort to understand, manage, mitigate or adapt to the changes our ocean is experiencing.

​

Policymakers and resource managers collaborate to identify and prioritize gaps in knowledge that will inform local intervention strategies.

​

Stakeholders can connect over shared concerns and work together to monitor and respond to the threat of ocean acidification and the mounting climate emergency.

Decision making category:

How OA info might support actions in this category:

Ocean acidification researchers produce targeted information that can help policymakers, resource managers, stakeholders, and communities better comprehend impacts of OA on marine resources, and enable them to identify the most appropriate mitigation or adaptation actions to minimize and address the effects of OA.

Co-Designing OA Research for Decision Making Categories

• Identify supply & demand pathways associated with OA information within each category.
• Break down barriers by connecting non-science practitioners with OARS researchers.
• The role of OARS is to inform and connect.
