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?

Trying to code this... Thoughts?
Hi! At my house, I recently downloaded a coding game, and I was planning on coding a video-game focusing on helping creatures that are being harmed from Ocean Acidification. The game would be centered on quests that the player would go on to help ocean creatures--- but that's beside the point. I can't think of any creatures right now!!! Do any of you have any ideas for ocean creatures and some quests to help them? Please spare me the coder's block! :,(
(P.S.) (I wanted to code this game to raise awareness of Ocean Acidification. Just an FYI!)
