Our industrialized lifestyle leading to climate change is something we can adapt to, but it’s causing a change that the Coral Reefs are not acclimated to live in.The changes and industrializations we bring affects the climate. This problem has been named and clarified as climate change. Since the industrial revolution our climate has changed drastically. Industrial waste is now a necessary problem that collides with our daily life. This lifestyle can be too much for the fragile ecosystems our world holds. The rise of ocean acidification lowers the Ph level, which kills the coral that holds some of the most beautiful life.
The Scientist who researched Ocean Acidification left a great understanding to how carbon works with the sea. These studies …show more content…
They hold more than four thousand fish and scientist say there could be one to eight million undiscovered marine life in their ecosystem. The coral reefs very diverse and is considered one of the earth’s natural beauties. Because of the coral reef’s diversity scientist can harvest ingredients to many of the medicines we need. The medicines that are not invented yet can be created with the substances coral reefs hold. The environmental services of coral reefs hold great importance, but with the bleaching and acidity in the water these medicines could not be created. The lack of coral reefs does ruin our health when the human race can not support anyone with medicine. The coral reefs also can help the economy with the income of money they bring each year. Tourism help the economies of countries because tourist bring money to scuba dive and see the natural beauties. If the coral reefs are destroyed by the acidic water CO2 brings then the level of money income brought in will drop devastatingly. Countries coral reefs hold great importance for the tourism and travel businesses and also the commercial value of the fishing profession. Fisherman bring in over 100 million dollars from coral reefs. Developing countries are greatly advantaged when the coral reefs are healthy because the townspeople of sometimes tens of million of people have fish to sell and eat improving their way of living. Developing countries contribute to one quarter of …show more content…
The reaction of CO2 being combined with H2O Carbonic Acid, which is also known as H2C03. When Carbonic Acid is dissolved it makes hydrogen ion, creating HCO3, leaving the H+ ion to move around freely. This is known as ocean acidification and is responsible for the rise of acidity in the reefs.Ocean acidification are also changing the coral reefs and are exceeding rates of calcium carbonate: CaCO3. Symbiosis, where two organisms rely on each other for survival, is a basic example of the circle of life. Well the Coral Reefs are a circle and if you take out the reefs the organisms lose a home. This loss will leave the marine wildlife bland, literally. The stress ocean acidification has on the corals can be too much. The corals expel zooxanthellae from their polyps due to this stressful situation, leaving them with a pale, white colour known as bleaching. Bleaching is caused by the loss of the zooxanthellae, the tissue that lives in the corals. Without it the coral grows weak and it is harder to fight the diseases. These diseases can be caused naturally or be stemmed from the factories that pollute the ocean (Science 20). The cases of bleaching were relatively small, but the recent years have shown a high rise with the related matter. The rises of bleaching is the death of an ecosystem. The Coral reefs have had millions of years to adapt to changes, they are now being forced to leave their home. The Coral Reefs dying in
