Adapting to Ocean Climate Change

Our oceans, coastlines and coastal communities are on the front line of climate change. These areas also typically have highest population densities. They’re also disproportionately impacted by the effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions, changes in water temperature, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation threaten the physical, economic, food security of local communities, and resources for global businesses. Our efforts in this space focus on creating awareness of coral health, advancing science using human-assisted coral evolution, and testing novel ways to improve ocean health.
