Carbon pollution from human activities is making ocean water corrosive. This harms marine life. Our new scientific tool helps ...

Ocean acidification strips seawater of the materials that marine animals — such as corals, plankton and shellfish — use to build their shells and skeletons. This can stunt growth or cause deformations ...

Sign our petition to help protect ocean life from ocean acidification. Shell-forming animals like corals, crabs, oysters and urchins are getting hit first because ocean acidification robs seawater of ...

Why does the acidity of the ocean matter? Ocean acidification could have an impact on food supplies. Richard says, 'There was concern that the shelled animals we eat, like oysters, may eventually all ...

Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time ... Over time, more hydrogen ions and fewer carbonate ions cause the ocean to trend towards acidity. Some marine organisms, such as oysters ...

Come learn about the emerging science, policy and financing needed to fully understand and respond to climate-ocean change and ocean acidification’s impact on food security.

"Therefore, breaching the ocean acidification boundary appears inevitable within the coming years." - Tipping points - Acidic water damages corals, shellfish and the phytoplankton that feeds a ...

In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Jens Müller and Nicolas Grube describe the factors that went into their model and what it showed them about ocean acidification around ...
