Excited to share our new paper on the state of #OceanAcidification knowledge in #Canada and pathways for action! Thanks to all our amazing coauthors and our community who continue to champion OA knowledge to action initiatives (such as the BC OAH Action Forum on March 3)!

Lead author @barnaclebarclay.bsky.social emphasizes that the story of shellfish populations in the Broken Group archipelago—largely sheltered from commercialization—is one of resilience. But she adds that “these ecosystems are still vulnerable to climate change." @uvicsocialsciences.bsky.social

A new study reveals that the Broken Group Islands off the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC, are a bright spot for shellfish populations in the northeast Pacific Ocean—demonstrating a sustainable relationship between local First Nations and shellfish over millennia. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/5psvxjsa

New paper alert! We combined modern ecology, archaeology, and a palaeontology technique of examining crab 🦀 claw marks on their clam prey to examine how these shellfish populations have changed over 3000 years. Find it open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... #ConservationPaleobiology #CPB

Fabulous new Indigenous shellfisheries publication on the historical ecology of crabs 🦀 using palaeontology techniques to detect sublethal scars on clams 🐚 led by @barnaclebarclay.bsky.social open access & out now in BioConservation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌊 @noaa.gov was a leader on ocean acidification (OA) and marine carbon dioxide removal (#mCDR). This research is decimated by the firings of many outstanding staff, including the leaders of the OA and mCDR groups, my close colleagues Sarah Cooley and Gabby Kitch. #StandUpForScience
