Oceans require a particular level of pH to maintain the natural biochemistry needed to allow a healthy ecosystem to remain intact for the species living in the water (Solutions). Major causes of ocean acidification are high concentration of carbon dioxide, the industrial revolution, burning of fossil fuels and loss of biodiversity. The industrial revolution was a big producer of carbon dioxide and it began the steady increase of ocean acidity. That alone caused an increase of 30% in the oceans surface acidity (Ocean). Burning fossil fuels creates more carbon dioxide. The loss of biodiversity in the ocean weakens the
