Ocean Acidification: The Silent Menace beneath the Waves

Fabiola James

While climate change and its visible impacts on land have gained significant attention, there is a hidden crisis unfolding beneath the waves: ocean acidification. As the Earth’s atmosphere absorbs excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from human activities, our oceans are absorbing much of it too. This process, known as ocean acidification, poses a grave threat to marine life, ecosystems, and the countless human communities that depend on the seas for sustenance and livelihood. This article explores the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to tackle the alarming issue of ocean acidification.
