Summary Points
-Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) rising because of human emissions (mostly fossil fuel burning)
-About ¼ of human CO2 emissions enter the ocean, changing seawater chemistry
• more acidic (lower pH)• calcium carbonate shells more soluble
-Coastal acidificatoin can occur because of excess nutrients (and other processes)
-Acidification potentially threatens many shellfish
