Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification levels are rising due to all the CO2 in the atmosphere. Ever since the beginning of the industrial revolution people have released tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Luckily most of the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the ocean. All of the CO2 that is absorbs into the ocean is turned into a type of acid that is capable of dissolving crustaceans shells. Every year crustaceans are dying because of the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. The percent of CO2 that is released into the ocean every year is 9.3 tons of carbon dioxide, which is almost a third of what we release. The more carbon dioxide that people put into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, the more the ocean would
