Most of us are aware of climate change and its consequences: increasing global temperatures, extreme weather events, rising sea levels. But one lesser-known effect is ocean acidification. The ocean absorbs around one-third of all human-created carbon dioxide, which over time alters the pH of seawater, making it more acidic. Expedition Leader Arpita Dutta details the effects of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems, coral reefs and other sea life, as well as the downstream effects on our food systems and the global economy.
