OA ACTION PLANNING IN CANADA
BC OAH Action Plan
In 2023, the Province of British Columbia completed the BC Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Action Plan. The BC OAH Action Plan was developed in response to a 2019 provincial Preliminary Strategic Climate Risk Assessment that identified ocean acidification as a significant climate change-related risk to the Province's seafood sector. The Province then launched the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program, managed by the Tula Foundation, which provides $1.7 million in funding over two years (April 1, 2024 - March 31, 2026) for eleven projects that support the actions of the BC OAH Action Plan.

OA CoP Action Plan Resources for the Classroom
Governments across the world use action plans to help solve problems facing the world. Action Plans can be used by more people than just governments; they can be used by any individual or group that is faced with a problem! The OA CoP has created an educational resource outlining how to design an Action Plan of your own that can be used to address OA in your community and beyond! This resource is targeted for students but could be used by anyone looking to make an action plan!
What was the impact of your class, group, or individual project? We would love to hear about your success stories! Success stories can be featured on our website and social media!
Our OA CoP team is excited to help any and all groups that use this resource. We are happy to help teach this lesson virtually and give more information on ocean acidification in Canada. If you are interested in a member of our team coming into your classroom or visiting your group please reach out to our community coordinator at coordinator@oceanacidification.ca!
