Oceans turn more acidic as CO2 rises at record pace
A National Research Council report warns ocean chemistry is changing faster than any time in 800000 years due to atmospheric carbon dioxide. It notes pH has fallen from 8.2 to 8.1 since the Industrial Revolution and could drop further, threatening coral reefs and marine life. EPA actions, a biological diversity settlement, and a national Ocean Acidification Program are highlighted along with recommended observer networks, data systems, and a 10 year strategic plan.
