Description

I. INTRODUCTION Each year, the oceans absorb up to one ton of C[O.sub.2] per each person on the planet. (1) Although beneficial, this undertaking is cause for alarm because the current amount of C[O.sub.2] in the atmosphere has not been experienced on Earth for at least 800,000 years. (2) While steps have been taken to reduce the amount of C[O.sub.2] emissions, C[O.sub.2] released by human activities has increased by nearly 40% from pre-industrial levels. (3) Since that time, the oceans have absorbed almost half of all C[O.sub.2] emissions, decreasing levels of potential of hydrogen (pH) and making them more acidic. (4) This process, now known as ocean acidification, is rapidly increasing and has shrewdly been dubbed the "other C[O.sub.2] problem." (5) Unless ocean acidification becomes part of the international climate change agenda, the impact on marine organisms and coastal economies could be devastating. (6)
