The Gulf of Maine—home to commercial fisheries for oysters, clams and mussels—has unexpectedly avoided an increase in ...

Scientists studied the annual bands built by crustose coralline algae to help determine a history of seawater chemistry in ...

Researchers and hatcheries are exploring new ways to protect shellfish in the Pacific Northwest from increasingly acidic seas.

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.

As acute ocean acidification events worsen, Mogen hopes that his research will pave the way to better forecasting and more sustainable management of marine ecosystems. “If you can predict these events ...

"Ocean acidification scares debunked," reads the text over a May 21, 2025 video posted to X by The Heartland Institute, a US free-market think tank (archived here), which AFP has investigated in ...

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.

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.

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 ...
