Ocean acidification poses threat to marine life: Study
Ocean acidification, caused by burning fossil fuels, is increasing across the globe, with species losing their ability to adapt to the acidity due to plastic pollution and global warming, according to an eight-year study by Germany’s Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification group. The research found that, as acidification occurs quickly, only species with short generation times, such as micro-organisms, are able to adapt. Acidification could also reduce the size of Atlantic cod by 75% by the end of the century, according to the study.
