A study was released recently that shows how Ocean Acidification can impact the growth of some marine animals, and also effect their vulnerability to other species. Reportedly, as more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, the seawater becomes more acidic, and that impacts some corals and snails….whose skeletons and shells tend to become thinner under more acidic conditions. That makes the snails more vulnerable to being crushed….especially by the invasive (and predatory) Green Crabs.
