What does ocean acidification mean for the future of sea life?

Despite pandemic shutdowns, carbon dioxide emissions surged in 2020 and entered the Earth’s atmosphere to further accelerate global warming. While 50% of this gas remained in the atmosphere, natural water cycles dumped 25% into the ocean, causing pH levels to increase dramatically.

In this blog, we will unpack the impact of ocean acidification on the food chain caused by changes to pH and the importance of meeting emissions goals to ensure that marine species continue to thrive.
