First scientific study on a natural coral reef shows the effect of acidification caused by global warming, rather than common factors in reef decline

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is in decline from Ocean Acidification

Coral Watch investigator reports ‘shocking’ lack of fish and says the surviving corals are continuing to bleach, even during winter

Ocean acidification poses an increasing threat to the sediments that form the framework of coral reefs - within around 30 years, these carbonate sands may no longer be able to form.

Ocean Acidification Following The Dino-Killing Asteroid Caused Much Of The Last Great Extinction

Important ecosystems could be massively damaged by 2050 unless greenhouse gas emissions and localised pollution is drastically reduced, researchers say

Carbon dioxide given off by vehicles, power plants and other human sources spells trouble for many marine organisms. The gas combines with seawater to form carbonic acid, which reduces availability of the carbonate ions they need to build shells and other structures. Acidification also appears to disrupt physiological processes. Illustration by Sarah Youngquist.

Ocean acidification, caused by the addition of huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the marine environment, is a problem that has come to the fore relatively recently. Jason Hall-Spencer, Professor of Marine Biology at Plymouth University, places it within the context of the myriad other threats that face the world’s oceans.

Coral reef can be destroyed by climate change, overfishing, destructive fishing practices, pollution, sedimentation, and coral mining,

Greenhouse gases don't just cause Global Warming... Meet the new threat: Ocean Acidification. via Sierra Club BC.

Explore the phenomenon of ocean acidification and its effects on marine life. Learn how increased CO2 emissions are altering ocean pH levels and impacting ecosystems.

Ocean acidification reduces the amount of carbonate, a key building block in seawater. This makes it more difficult for marine organisms, such as coral and some plankton, to form their shells and skeletons, and existing shells may begin to dissolve. -Poster design for ocean acidification.

Researchers say Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef faces permanent destruction through coral bleaching caused by warming water. The worst mass bleaching event on record is affecting reefs all around the world.

They threaten the region's fishing industry.
