The amount of ocean acidification right now is quite problematic. If we don’t find ways to reduce it, it's going to increase over time since we have rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the ...

Much of that acidification has taken place in just the past 70 years. Ocean pH levels and dissolved oxygen concentrations, as measured up to 2012, and as projected by ocean models to the year 2100.

Ocean acidification combined with warming of the world oceans and loss of oxygen is having a severe impact on key Arctic marine species such as polar cod in the Barents Sea, according to a new ...

Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean acidification levels beyond safe limits in large swaths of the marine ...

Right now, the pH of open waters near Hawaii commonly hovers around 8, and ocean acidification models forecast a pH drop of 0.2 or more over the next 100 years, said Carrington.

Rising carbon dioxide emissions are not only increasing global temperatures, but are also making the oceans more acidic, threatening marine organisms. Here is a videographic explaining ocean ...

B.C.’s ocean acidification and hypoxia action plan, released in 2023, notes that ocean acidification and the related phenomenon of hypoxia (low oxygen zones in the ocean) “poses a significant ...

Ocean acidification is affecting the shells and sensory organs of young Dungeness crabs in West Coast waters, posing a threat to B.C.’s second most valuable seafood export. A study published in ...

Ocean acidification has emerged as one of the biggest modern threats to coral reefs across the world. New evidence indicates ocean acidification once also caused the worst mass extinction in history.
