Ocean Acidification 06/06/19A 11:11 S.S.

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.
