Ocean acidification is a process in which the pH of seawater decreases due to the absorption of atmospheric CO2, causing chemical changes with significant impacts on marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
Important notes on ocean acidification
Read more
The oceans perform an important function in absorbing man-made carbon emissions, but they have limits that are extremely dangerous to exceed. Due to the increased acidity of the oceans, many marine organisms can suffer damage to their calcium carbonate shells or skeletons that make their survival and reproduction more difficult. For example, ocean acidification can hinder the formation of corals and the growth of mollusc shells. The rate of acidification since the industrial revolution is unprecedented in any period in the last 300 million years and is an alarming warning about the climate imbalance caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities.
