Denton, S. (2023, November 30). Climate explained: Ocean Acidification. Save the Sound. https://www.savethesound.org/2023/10/23/climate-explained-ocean-acidification/ 

The article discusses ocean acidification, a consequence of heightened carbon dioxide absorption by the ocean, leading to decreased water pH. Worsened by human activities, acidification poses threats to marine life, affecting species diversity and hindering shell and skeleton formation. Deoxygenation, linked to acidification, further amplifies environmental concerns. The Long Island Sound experiences accelerated acidification, emphasizing the need for both global and localized mitigation efforts. Solutions include emissions reduction, eelgrass restoration, and green infrastructure projects. The article underscores the urgency of addressing ocean acidification’s global and regional impacts on coastal ecosystems. 

As the article’s main focus is ocean acidification it discusses important parts of Environmental science. It also introduces an interesting aspect such as Deoxygenation which also contributes significantly to ocean acidification. I found this article slightly disruptive because it introduced a new issue that I was not previously familiar with. Although, it’s motivating to see the research that is going into solving these issues.
