Welcome to the PI-TOA (Pacific Islands & Territories Ocean Acidification) Network. The PI-TOA network works collectively to better understand and combat the impacts of ocean acidification in the region. As capacity for ocean acidification monitoring increases in the region, there is an increasing need for collaboration and communication among the various islands and territories.

Raising Ocean Science Awareness Among Fiji's Youth

The inaugural Veivueti Kids Ocean Conference took place on June 12th at the International School in Suva, Fiji. The event aimed to ignite a passion for ocean conservation among students, empowering them to take meaningful action as stewards of marine ecosystems. Students were given the opportunity to select an Ocean Decade Challenge and develop solutions to address these challenges, beginning at the local level.

PI-TOA (Pacific Islands & Territories Ocean Acidification) Network

The term "Toa" means "warrior" in many Polynesian Island languages. The PI-TOA network works collectively to better understand and combat the impacts of ocean acidification in the region. In recent years, there have been several ocean acidification trainings and "GOA-ON in a Box" kit recipients in the Pacific Islands and Territories. As capacity for ocean acidification monitoring increases in the region, there is an increasing need for collaboration and communication among the various islands and territories.
