marine mammals.

The shellfish eat the toxic algae then the animals eat them. He stated, “Exposure to the biotoxin affects the brain, causing them to become lethargic, disoriented, and have seizures that sometimes…

The primary causes for ocean acidification include carbon dioxide pollution, an effect caused by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. The carbon dioxide accumulates quickly, entering the ocean and increasing ocean acidity, so fast that the organisms cannot adapt quickly enough. It is most problematic in cold water regions and places where deep water wells up to the surface, as not only would co2 rates rise faster, it is also the location for many fisheries. Coral reefs are also at…
