With plants and animals that live in the ocean, it is important to watch the pH level of the water. Certain pH levels are important for wildlife to survive, but when more fossil fuels are being burned more carbon dioxide is being released into the air. Fifty percent of the carbon dioxide that the human population burns is being absorbed into the ocean. pH levels in the ocean are decreasing because of the up rise of carbon in the atmosphere. This is called Ocean Acidification. Ocean Acidification is becoming a point of issue for Earth’s oceans, and the wildlife on earth. Corals and other marine organisms are currently struggling to survive from increased sea temperatures, over harvesting, pollution, and acidification. Acidity is a major problem
