Introduction

Delve into the issue of ocean acidification and its potential impact on marine life in this engaging podcast.

Understanding Ocean Acidification

Ocean acidification refers to the gradual decrease in the pH levels of Earth’s oceans, primarily caused by the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This phenomenon poses significant threats to marine ecosystems and their inhabitants.

Impacts on Marine Life

The acidification of oceans can lead to detrimental effects on marine organisms, such as:

• Inhibited growth and reproduction in calcifying organisms like corals and shellfish
• Alterations in behavior and physiology of fish and other sea creatures
• Disruption of food chains and ecosystems
