The Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (EGSL) is one of the largest and most productive estuarine/marine systems in the world. This region supports unique ecosystems and productive fisheries that have been critical sources of food and culture for millennia, while also being a major historical transportation channel for Eastern North America. However, the EGSL is experiencing rapid changes to water conditions, including acidification, associated with climate change much faster than global averages.

We’re excited to share 7 illustrations from the British Columbia Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Action Forum in March!
