How can we prevent ocean acidification?

What are the main causes of ocean acidification?

Ocean acidification is primarily caused by the absorption of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere by the oceans.

How does ocean acidification affect marine life?

It negatively impacts marine organisms, especially those with calcium carbonate shells, like corals and shellfish, making it harder for them to survive.

What can individuals do to help prevent ocean acidification?

Individuals can reduce their carbon footprint by using less energy, supporting renewable energy, and advocating for policies that limit CO2 emissions.

Are there any global initiatives to combat ocean acidification?

Yes, there are several initiatives, including the Ocean Acidification Action Plan and international agreements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
