Ocean Acidification has been mentioned in class a few times and so I did a little searching...and I came upon this article. It just goes to show how widespread and interconnected environmental impacts are. The change in the Oceans pH because of rising CO2 levels within the ocean does more than harm coral and crustaceons, apparently it can also make the ocean a louder place. More research is needed to see what sorts of impacts this will have on all marine life, but the worry is that the increased noise will make it difficult for whales to communicate.
