As global climate change intensifies, ocean acidification is becoming a ‘relentless killer’ threatening coral reef ecosystems ...

Shell-forming animals like corals, crabs, oysters and urchins are getting hit first because ocean acidification robs seawater of the compounds these creatures need to build shells and skeletons, ...

Increased ocean acidification is harmful to marine life, leading to issues such as weakening the shells and skeletons of ...

Across the globe, oceans are acidifying as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, threatening coral reefs and many ...

A recent University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa report analyzed impacts to the ocean based on different CO2 emission levels. It found ...

The deeper the scientists went for their readings, the worse the "acidification." Researchers claimed that 200 meters below the water surface, 60% of the ocean had breached the planetary boundary ...

Another is ocean acidification, also caused by burning fossil fuels. In 2023, researchers determined that six of these boundaries had already been crossed. The new research adds a worrying seventh.

Out of shape: Ocean acidification simplifies coral reef architecture and reshuffles fish assemblages. Journal of Animal Ecology, 2024; DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.14127 ...

Ocean Acidification is so dramatic that shellfish larvae can’t form their shells. We now understand that the acidity interferes with the creation of calcium carbonate that’s need to form the ...

In the future, acidification will continue to accelerate at least until mid-century, based on projections from Earth system models. The potential consequences of ocean acidification on marine ...
