Ocean Acidification: Threats, Impacts, and Solutions
Abstract
Ocean acidification, driven by CO2 absorption, poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, impacting calcifying organisms, fish behavior, and food webs. Varying species sensitivities and synergistic stressors like warming exacerbate these effects. Economic consequences for coastal communities are substantial. Research explores coral reef resilience, fish and phytoplankton responses, shellfish aquaculture impacts, and deep-sea vulnerabilities. Advanced monitoring and modeling are vital for understanding and predicting future impacts, though ultimately, reducing global greenhouse gas emissions is the key mitigation strategy.
