Ocean Acidification from Increased CO2 May Devastate Shellfish and Coral
- "Many shellfish use calcium carbonate to make their shells, but the more carbon dioxide in the ocean, the less carbonate is available to those organisms that use it. ...A lot of shellfish are an important food source for fish as well as humans. The impacts of shellfish disappearing could be massive." - quote from Dr Carol Turley, from Plymouth Marine Laboratory; quote appeared in this Telegraph article.
