Ocean fertilization could lead to ocean acidification
Mitigation strategies that aim to transfer CO2 to the ocean, for example by direct deepsea disposal of CO2 or by fertilising the ocean to stimulate biological productivity, would enhance ocean acidification in some areas while reducing it in others. - Read More

Consequences of Oceans Absorbing CO2
Scientists have been concerned that lower ocean pH caused by absorption of CO2 emissions could decrease calcification processes underlying the growth of shells and corals? hard exteriors. They are also investigating how acidification alters the concentration and behavior of ocean?s trace metals, nutrients for marine life. Also looking into unexpected consequences of ocean acidification, such as disruptions to sound propagation and transmission of chemical cues. - Read More
