Researchers and hatcheries are exploring new ways to protect shellfish in the Pacific Northwest, although Trump budget cuts ...

Man- made CO2- emissions are acidifying the world's oceans. A web- based visualisation tool shows how ocean acidification has developed over the last forty years. These "OceanAcidificationStripes ...

Ocean acidification threatens shell-building marine life. A study reveals mussels have a natural protective layer on their shells, like a varnish, that significantly reduces breakdown in acidic water.

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

Many coastal communities that harvest shellfish could soon be hurt by ocean acidification, a study finds. The Pacific Northwest and New England are hot spots, as are estuaries along the East Coast.

The acidification of the Earth's oceans is expected to triple by 2100, and could lead to major impacts on biodiversity across U.S. coastlines. With climbing atmospheric CO2, huge amounts of this ...

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

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.

And ocean acidification is set to continue as the water absorbs more CO2. “Even if we were able to stop CO2 emissions immediately, we would still – for a couple of hundred of years or so ...

Ocean acidification would be the seventh, and shows the dire straits that Earth is now in. The researchers behind this latest study want to see a rapid response to the dangers, ...
