Ocean acidification is a phenomenon in which the ocean absorbs too much carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), causing its pH to drop lower than normal. This "acidification" can have devastating effects for shelled organisms and coral reefs. Time for discussion: why do you think coral reefs are important? #4ocean #OceanConservation #ConservationConversation 📸@amylizrushworth
