Worldwide, our oceans are warming, rising, and becoming dangerously acidic as a result of carbon pollution and climate change - endangering much that we…

— Sheldon Whitehouse

Changing the world's oceans to increase their uptake of CO2, as other geoengineering solutions propose, is equally dangerous, as the increased resulting acidity of…

As we pump greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, making the seawater acidic and hostile for shellfish and corals.

— Barry Gardiner

Centuries-old habitats such as coral gardens are destroyed in an instant by bottom trawls, pulverized by weighted nets into barren plains. And global carbon…

There are ecosystems like coral reefs [at risk] through ocean acidification. Those are valuable things that we should protect.

— Bill Gates

We are not only warming the ocean and the planet as a whole, but we are also acidifying the ocean and changing its chemistry.

— Sylvia Earle

As we burn fossil fuels, we release carbon dioxide, much of which is absorbed by the oceans.

— Tatiana Schlossberg

Beneath the ocean surface, bad things are happening. Increasing CO2 makes ocean water more acid, and that threatens to dissolve the shells of some…

We have to immediately stop using the oceans as a dumping ground for our urban and industrial waste.

— Serge Dedina

Ocean energy can contribute a great deal toward the protection or our atmosphere - without damaging marine ecosystems that are equally vital to the…

— Fred Krupp

If we don't preserve the oceans from nitrate runoff and plastic and chemicals, and if we don't preserve it from acidification, and if we…
