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?

save the oceans
awareness needs to be raised for this topic because we need our oceans. Coral reefs are already being wiped out because of this. Its crazy to think that we might be the last generation to see a coral reef. We need to start making commercials and billboards to inform everybody about what is happening.
i agree, some species are already destroying algaes
