Bringing Together Many Voices Necessary To Monitor Ocean Acidification
What We Can't Sea
This episode shows the importance of monitoring ocean acidification and how we can all work together to protect our planet. Listen now to learn more about this important issue.
If you’ve found your way to What we can’t sea, you’re probably familiar with the idea of ocean acidification. This is a large-scale ocean change, driven by increasing concentrations of Carbon di-oxide in the atmosphere. As seawater absorbs Carbon di-oxide (because yep, that’s a thing), it also creates carbonic acid. A certain amount of hydrogen ions busting out from that carbonic acid can be buffered, leaving ocean pH relatively unaltered. But here in the 21st century, we’ve overshot the Carbon di-oxide limit and the result is an acidifying ocean.
