AboutThisCourse

This increases ocean acidity, hindering coral's ability to build and maintain their skeletons (calcification). Shellfish and other marine organisms are also affected by this chemical change. Coral bleaching, a consequence of warmer waters and acidification, leads to coral reef degradation. Loss of coral reefs impacts biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal protection. Understanding ocean acidification is crucial for conservation efforts. Learn how you can contribute to protecting these incredible ecosystems.
