The Effects Of Ocean Acidification On The Environment And Surrounding Organisms

Ocean acidification is a process in which Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is absorbed into the ocean causing an imbalance in the seawater’s pH. Based on these changes, organisms are affected adversely causing various biological impacts of different degrees for each organism. This research paper discusses the effects of ocean acidification on the environment and the surrounding organisms. It will discuss the impacts of calcifying organisms, the effects of ocean nitrification, the altering impacts on the developmental stages of invertebrates, the present-day state of California’s Current System and how this affects consumers and the economy. Lastly, this paper will provide different solutions to some of the problems associated with ocean acidification
