Sign our petition to help protect ocean life from ocean acidification. Shell-forming animals like corals, crabs, oysters and urchins are getting hit first because ocean acidification robs seawater of ...

The shells of marine snails – known as pteropods – living in the seas around Antarctica are being dissolved by ocean acidification according to a new study published this week in the journal ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels are driving an increase in the ocean’s acidity – and this change is sinking deeper as emissions ...

The rising CO₂ levels and ocean acidification also reduce the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) from which foraminifera build their shells. Since the empty shells of deceased plankton sink to the ...

other types of animals thicken their shells and survive that way, but this also takes additional energy. Richard says, 'Some are able to survive and reproduce, although it becomes more efficient for ...

Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time ... Carbonate ions are needed by marine organisms for shell and skeleton growth. Over time, more hydrogen ions and fewer carbonate ions ...

Ocean acidification can negatively affect marine life, causing organisms' shells and skeletons made from calcium carbonate to dissolve. The more acidic the ocean, the faster the shells dissolve. By ...

Scientists call ocean acidification "the other carbon problem ... That shift makes sea animals' shell brittle, which makes a huge difference to… ...

According to a recent study published in Nature, many planktonic foraminifera species may face unprecedented environmental ...
