In our view, your report 'Seawater studies come up short' ( Nature 524 , 18 19 2015 ) fails to capture the nuances of the survey results you discuss (see C. E. Cornwall and C. L. Hurd ICES J. Mar.

Researchers aim to follow the 2010 'Guide to best practices for ocean acidification research and data reporting' ( go.nature.com/sp5kgn ) as they strive to understand how marine organisms are likely to respond to the falling pH of the world's oceans, caused by increased carbon dioxide concentrations.
