Earths aquatic life is unique and essential in almost every aspect of human’s day to day life. Our oceans provide mouth-watering foods; they give supplies for making hair products, and also aide meteorologist in predicting our weather from day-to-day. The magnificent oceans are home to more organisms and aquatic life than is fathomable. What if we did not have our oceans to keep us healthy? The vivacious lives that make our oceans so beautifully helpful are at great danger of depletion. ”Ocean acidification is a global environmental issue caused by the man-made release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is often called the "evil twin" to climate change, because both issues are rooted in carbon dioxide emissions” (Oceana,

They provide food and shelter to beautiful and diverse marine life, such as the Angel Fish and the Moorish Idol. Humans use marine materials for body moisturizers, as well as for cake ingredients. When the value of these essentials is knocked down, our economy is affected by reduction in sales along with diminishing health. The majority of people get their protein from fish, and if our oceans are acidic, so then will be our food supply. Marine animals such as shrimp and lobster, which dwell in shallow water, are more at risk of exposure to carbonic acid. Exposure will hinder the growth of skeletons and reduce the quality of health in all marine life. “Ocean acidification has the potential to disrupt entire ocean ecosystems” (Oceana, 2014). This obstruction in one of earth’s greatest assets is harmful due to the fact that our world is so reliant on our oceans. The access to the mass amounts of water, such as our oceans, provides our land with the rain water it needs to flourish, producing for us healthy and essential plants, animals and produce we need to survive. The chemical imbalance of our oceans marine life is put in danger, and we are at risk to fishing in unhealthy waters. If we do not do anything about the release of carbon dioxide into the air, ocean acidification will become so high that our waters will be reduced to nothing but an …show more content…
What better way to power our beautifully diverse earth than with the sources naturally given to us? “New energy sources are more efficient than the old ones. And because no fossil fuels will have to be purchased or burned, consumer costs will be similar to what they are today, and the state would eliminate a huge portion of its carbon dioxide emissions” (Fischetti, 2013). If every state in the United States adopted this procedure, it would cut off an enormous amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Mark Jacobson says that in order for the scientific policy’s to be pushed, we would need politicians to back it as well as grassroots to give evidence. Jacobson is working on a new energy plan for California and says some people in New York are really interested in coming up with their own energy plan. Implementing these policies will be beneficial for our
