Around a third to a half of the CO2 released by human activities is absorbed
into the oceans and this also has a direct, chemical effect on seawater, which
we call ocean acidification.
Human activities release CO2 into the
atmosphere, which leads to
atmospheric warming and climate
change.
The impacts of ocean acidification are not uniform across all species. Some algae and seagrass may benefit from higher
CO2 concentrations in the ocean, as they may increase their photosynthetic and growth rates.
Ocean acidification causes the pH of the seawater to drop and become more acidic,
which affects the ability of some marine organisms, including corals and bivalves, to
form shells and other hard structures.
This is the image
showing the process of
ocean acidification.
This image shows
the damage of the
plats in the ocean.
Ocean acidification monitoring in the ocean.
The ocean was once in a
healthy condition.
Animals in the ocean used to be in good conditions and better health.
But now the animals are getting sick because of
the acidification process as shown below.
