While corals face numerous dangers, the overarching threats of climate change and ocean acidification are the greatest, and they're accelerating the decline of corals around the world. In 2009 we ...

Plastic pollution combined with ocean acidification hinders the development of Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean, research published in Marine Frontiers reveals. Antarctic krill (Euphausia ...

Ocean acidification is often described as the evil twin of climate change. Prof Richard Twitchett explains what ocean acidification is and what it could mean for the planet. Earth's oceans are ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...
