Pacific Conversation Card Series : Lungs of Shores: Restoring Coastal Wetlands

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

These missing wetlands were part of our planet’s life support system, and big pressures are still facing the wetlands that remain. Mangroves, marshes, seagrasses, and coral reefs generate wealth for our communities and treasures for our cultural traditions.

Pacific Conversation Card Series : Turning Our Economy Blue

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

We probably cannot afford what the ocean gives us right now for free. For example, the ocean takes up carbon dioxide for us, and the value of this hidden ‘blue carbon’ service is estimated at USD 60 to 400 billion per year.

Pacific Conversation Card Series : Ocean Water Reflects Our Choices

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Ocean acidification is the ‘other’ effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 combines with seawater to produce carbonic acid, acidifying the seawater and depleting the seawater of carbonate that many forms of sea life need to build their shells.

Pacific conversation card series : Growing our Understanding of Ocean Acidification

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

In the natural volcanic seeps of Tutum Bay, Papua New Guinea, CO2 bubbles out from cracks in the seafloor and expose the nearby coral reef to a seawater pH between 7.6 and 7.7. That’s 40% lower than the global average ocean pH today!

We’ve made problems for corals, for sure. Ocean acidification is caused by humans’ carbon dioxide emissions, making it harder for corals to live and grow

Pacific Conversation Card Series : What will Ocean Acidification Cost Us?

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Before the covid-19 pandemic, tourism was growing faster than most other economic sectors.. There are two striking parts of that growth. Visitors form emerging economies now represent almost half of international arrivals and ecotourism and sustainable tourism are the hottest draws.

Pacific Conversation Card Series : Listening to Ocean Acidification

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

By 2050, under conservative projections of ocean acidification, sounds could travel as much as 70% farther in some ocean areas. This means ocean acidification affects whales and other animals, not just coral reefs and shellfish.

Pacific Conversation Card Series : Coral Prey or Plastic?

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Micro plastics are very small pieces of plastics, often created when water bottles, nappies, fishing nets, bags, paint and more are broken down by the waves and sun. Corals can mistake microplastics for living plankton their usual food.

Pacific Conversation Card Series :What's Wet and Green and Linked to Climate Change?

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience
