Since the beginning of industrialisation in the 18th Century, man-made CO2 emissions have progressively increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Consequently, more CO2 is being absorbed by the oceans, altering the carbonate chemistry of ocean surface waters: it reduces its pH and concentratio...
