As the ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, its pH levels drop, making it more acidic. This seemingly small change has profound consequences for marine life. Ocean acidification threatens organisms like corals, shellfish, and plankton that rely on calcium carbonate to build their skeletons and shells. Without these vital organisms, entire ecosystems could collapse.
Coral reefs, which are already stressed by warming waters, are particularly vulnerable. Acidification weakens coral structures, leaving them more susceptible to erosion and damage from storms. The cascading effects of these changes are felt throughout the
marine food web, impacting species that rely on these habitats for survival.
