The ocean is a vast vista of blossoming life and mysterious wonders that lurk in the deep. Our exquisite ocean is being ravaged through a process known as ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is the process of carbon dioxide and numerous gases being absorbed into the ocean, which raises the ocean’s pH, causing it to become more acidic. Contrary to popular belief, terrestrial vegetation does not intake all of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The ocean absorbs about fifty-percent of carbon dioxide created by burning fossil fuels, which is quite beneficial since it reduces the speed of climate change. As the ocean continues to absorb the heightened levels of carbon dioxide it transforms the gas into an aqueous state, once in this aqueous
