A study published in an upcoming issue of the journal Current Biology paints a grim picture of the future impact of ocean acidification on marine organisms.
While the study doesn't contribute much that is new in terms of our current understanding of the process -- indeed, the scientists' estimation that seawater pH will drop to 7.7 from a normal 8.1 is well in line with most estimates -- it provides yet more evidence that acidification will devastate many forms of marine life in the near future.
