Ocean acidification inhibits coral reefs from forming skeletons
- "Coral reefs play an important role in protecting coastlines from damage caused by waves and storms, but also provide habitat and shelter for many marine organisms. However, major environmental challenges such as climate change, threaten the survival of coral reefs worldwide...'Acidification hampers the ability of the coral to form skeletons and shells which are the building blocks of reefs'." - Excerpt from ScienceDaily on findings by ARC Centre of Excellence in Coral Reef Studies.
