BC OAH ACTION PLAN
In 2023, the Province of British Columbia published 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 (as a part of B.C.’s Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy) that identified ocean acidification as a significant climate change-related risk to the Province's seafood sector. Concurrently, the Province launched the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program, managed by the Tula Foundation, which provides $2 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.
A BC OAH Action Forum was held on March 3, 2026 to assess achievements of the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program, identify next steps and priority actions needed, and foster collaboration to continue advancing OAH initiatives in BC. Outputs from the forum, including a short documentary on the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program, will be ongoing and can be found on the Forum webpage.
