When seawater chemistry changes, some corals can change their structural makeup in an effort to adjust â making them the first creatures known to do so, according to a new study. Geochemist Justin Ries and a student assess the health of corals growing near Roatan, Honduras.
This is called ocean acidification. With ocean acidification, corals cannot absorb the calcium carbonate they need to maintain their skeletons and the stony skeletons that support corals and reefs will dissolve. Already, ocean acidification has lowered the pH of the ocean by about 0.11 units (SCOR 2009).
