CMBC Ocean Acidifcation Plans: Oceans are Sufferin Postcard

The oceans are suffering from second hand smoke, aka carbon dioxide (CO2)...The oceans are warming and sea level is rising because of our addiction to fossil fuels, but did you know this dirty habit is also causing the oceans to become more acidic? A more acidic ocean will dissolve coral reefs and the shells that marine snails and clams need to survive. This loss of coral reefs and shellfish will severely impact important fisheries and human recreation; livelihoods worth as much as $100 billion per year for millions of people worldwide. CO2, Break the Habit. For more information about how you can help, please visit the Centre for Marine Biodiversity & Conservation (CMBC) at: http://www.cmbc.ucsd.edu/earthday07.cfm
