Ocean acidification changes the vertical movement of stone crab larvae
Anthropogenic activities are increasing ocean temperature and decreasing ocean pH. Some coastal habitats are experiencing increases in organic runoff, which when coupled with a loss of vegetated coastline can accelerate reductions in seawater pH. Marine larvae that hatch in coastal habitats may not...

Anthropogenic activities are increasing ocean temperature and decreasing ocean pH.
