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?

Ths is Obvious
I doubt I can tell anything new about ecology. So I'll just leave my thoughts here.
Maybe we should stop mindlessly pollute water? I know that making sewage treatment plants isn't cheap at all, but they absolutely should be at every large indusrial factory. Besides pollution does cost a lot more to clean, so why not?
I agree. I think this is a good idea and we need to come up with more larger scale ideas like this.
Yeah, I agree too. Sharing ideas like this would make this world better
I agree, this is a great iidea, and a little goes a long way
I haven’t thought about before, but that sounds like really good idea. I don’t think a lot people give one thought about how sewage treatment plants could be polute the water, making people aware about this pollution could help big industries lower their carbon footprint.
