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 ...

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

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 ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels are driving an increase in the ocean’s acidity – and this change is sinking deeper as emissions ...

Ocean acidification, driven by CO2 emissions, harms marine ecosystems. Acidification reached 1,000 meters on average by 2014.

A pair of environmental physicists at the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics, ETH Zurich, has built a 3D ...

"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 tropical regions, the changing environmental conditions could trigger further extinctions, impacting marine ecosystems and the ocean's carbon ... that warming and acidification have on marine ...

Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time ... Some marine organisms, such as oysters and corals, need calcium and carbonate — or salt molecules made up of carbon and oxygen — to ...

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 ...
