The rise in the atmospheric CO2 levels due to human activities (CANT) is softened by its oceanic uptake. But this absorption leads to a suite of chemical changes collectively known as ocean acidification. Although acidification occurs in the world ocean, its impacts tend to be stronger in the high l...
