The conclusions and recommendations from the 2^nd International Workshop on the Economics of Ocean Acidification, organized by the Centre Scientifique de Monaco (CSM) and the IAEA in November 2012, was recently published in a summary document for policymakers. The brochure highlights the need to take urgent and adequate political decisions despite uncertainties and regional variations relating to the complex issue of ocean acidification. It lists the pressing actions needed to mitigate the adverse socio-economic consequences of ocean acidification on fisheries and aquaculture. The brochure includes a section of the regional impacts of Ocean Acidification on the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Patrizia Ziveri, Research Professor at ICTA, has participated in this document.
