Shellfish in a changing climate
- "Burning coal, oil and natural gas emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. About a third of that CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, reducing pH levels. As the water becomes more acidic, the calcium carbonate shellfish need for their shells is less abundant...'they're basically running out of building blocks to build shell with'" - Excerpt from San Diego State University
