It serves as an independent forum and focus for ocean affairs and its intent is to communicate the full spectrum of ocean issues – climate, fresh water, food, energy, trade, transportation, public health, finance, governance, recreation and culture – to citizens worldwide as a realisation that the sea connects all things. On November 14th, 2006, The World Ocean Observatory, with event facilitation by SA ’n Department of Education and Children’s Services, presents a unique opportunity for secondary students to participate in a global webcast exploring the issue of Ocean Acidification. Students, teachers and interested observers attending this 45 minute event in Australia will participate real time in an interactive presentation and discussion with leading scientists across the world.
