4. An Eight Year Study and 250 Scientists Concur - Increased Acidity Will Affect All Ocean Life
Infant sea creatures will be especially affected. For example the number of baby cod could fall to a quarter or even 12th of today’s numbers. The average pH of the ocean has fallen from pH 8.2 to 8.1, an increase of 26%, since the Industrial Revolution. Professor Ulf Riebesell says, “Warm-water corals are generally more sensitive than cold-water corals. Clams and snails are more sensitive than crustaceans.
And we found that early life stages are generally more affected than adult organisms.”
