Since 2015, African scientists are actively collaborating to advance ocean acidification research throughout the continent as part of the OA-Africa network. Past rapid ocean acidification periods in Earth history are not analogues for the present perturbation since their rates of change were far slower. This event will increase awareness about ocean acidification and research efforts in Africa and foster a dialogue with scientists attending the Blue Oceans Conference. About OA-AfricaOcean Acidification Africa (OA-Africa; https://www.oa-africa.net/) is a pan-African network working to coordinate and promote ocean acidification awareness and research in Africa. The network is composed of more than 100 scientists interested in conducting ocean acidification research in Africa.
