Well-discussed Marissa. You are correct that the ocean acidification implies to the fundamental changes in the chemical balance or chemistry of the Earth’s oceans due to the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by burning of fossil fuels (e.g. coal, fuel oil, and natural gas). Ocean acidification is distinct from global climate change; however, the global threats to ecosystems resulting from ocean acidification are theoretically similar as global warming and also, both are caused by carbon dioxide; therefore, several marine biologists have called ocean acidification as “the other CO2 problem” (Doney et al.,2009; Jurmain p.475). This rapid increase of the CO2 into the atmosphere is being produced by human activities; and
