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 ...

Ocean acidification strips seawater of the materials that marine animals — such as corals, plankton and shellfish — use to build their shells and skeletons. This can stunt growth or cause deformations ...

Ocean acidification is sinking into marine regions as deep as 1500 metres, posing new threats to organisms like sea butterflies, sea snails and cold-water corals. The ocean is the largest natural ...

Now a research team led by Xin Dang and Vengatesen Thiyagarajan has examined how ocean acidification could impact the sex ratio of oysters across generations, both in hatcheries and in the wild.

Rising Sea Surface Temperatures The steady warming of our oceans is akin to placing our planet on a simmering stove. Sea ...

Ocean acidification—a critical yet understudied issue in Sri Lanka—results from increased atmospheric CO2 levels dissolving into the ocean, altering its chemistry. This phenomenon poses significant ...

A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ...

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean.

The Winter School brought together 12 participants from 11 countries—Argentina, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ghana, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Malaysia, the Philippines and Portugal—for two weeks of ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect more than just the climate; they also affect the chemistry of the oceans. When saltwater absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes acidic, which alters the aquatic animal ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...
