In addition to the famous impacts of atmospheric carbon on global warming, there is an equally worrisome effect of carbon dioxide on the oceans: ocean acidification (or OA for short). Here at I2SEA we have a series of resources about OA, including Our Acidifying Ocean, which is an introductory activity and virtual lab (note: now mobile compatible!).
A student suggested that we start a conversation topic about OA, and here it is! Have you heard about Ocean Acidification? If so, are you worried about it? How do you think we can best raise awareness about it among your fellow students and the general public? Have you seen particularly good links or films about OA that you would like to share? What are you doing to address the problem?

Corals reefs are dying here in Tahiti because of pollution and global warming , as a consequence the water in the ocean is becoming more acid , the biodiversity is in danger. In a couple years our islands will be below sea level .
Our generation is on the front line , we have to stand for our futur because there is no planet B.
