Ocean Acidification: The process by which the ocean becomes more acidic due to increased levels of carbon dioxide, leading to changes in seawater chemistry. Calcifiers: Marine organisms that build ...

Near-future levels of ocean acidification could become corrosive enough to erode the shells of some animals. Even animals that don’t need to build shells — such as fish and squid — can be affected by ...

Acidification has myriad effects ... stating that they were "deeply concerned by recent, rapid changes in ocean chemistry," which could within decades "severely affect marine organisms, food ...

The bivalves rely on environmental factors to trigger genetic signals that determine whether they are male or female — a ...

Researchers report in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology that ocean acidification could shift the male-female ratios in oysters, creating more females over time and impacting future population ...

The ZOBLUC Project explores how Baltic Sea seagrass meadows store CO₂, restore ecosystems, and engage communities in ...

What is the 'other carbon dioxide problem'? How are humans driving changes in the chemistry of the ocean, and what might this mean for marine ecosystems in the future?

A pioneering study led by Mote Marine Laboratory, in collaboration with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWC-FWRI) and the U.S. Geological ...

The Winter School brought together 12 participants from 11 countries—Argentina, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ghana, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Malaysia, the Philippines and Portugal—for two weeks of ...

Removing carbon could also help prevent ocean acidification. Although the ocean’s chemistry has varied through geologic time, it has become more acidic as it has absorbed more carbon from human ...

The rising CO 2 levels and ocean acidification also reduce the formation ... researcher at CEREGE and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, emphasized the implications of the findings, saying ...
