I just posted this update on the Climate Change and Aquaria common site - http://www.aquariumsandclimate.com/. This new site is one of the major outcomes of the climate chnage and aquarium summit I attended with Ned Smith last December and will likely become the pre-eminent place for material on CC related to our institution - you have to sign up to be allowed access, but that is a simple matter and well worth the 3 min process!!

Ocean Acidification is happening much faster in the North Pacific than we previously realized (http://www.sfos.uaf.edu/news/story/?ni=280). We are now moving faster to address the issue as part of our climate change education and research activities. Two recent activities include:
1. we just screened the new film "A Sea Change" here in partnership with other NGOs in Alaska and I'd highly recommend you contact the producers to host a screening in your institution/community - see http://www.aseachange.net/ - it has a lot of great material to draw from, is a very easy to follow movie and really motivated the community we shared the movie with to be more engaged in this issue!
2. we are planning a session on ocean acidification research, adaptation and comunication on 18th January as part of the Alaska Marine Science Symposium - see http://www.alaskamarinescience.org/ or email me (ian_dutton@alaskasealife.org) for more details.
