Ocean acidification has exceeded safe planetary limits, study finds

Eco-Business

A key planetary boundary has been crossed as rising CO₂ drives ocean acidification past safe levels, imperilling marine species. For this study, researchers looked at a key indicator of ocean acidification called aragonite saturation state, a measure of how well seawater supports the formation of aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate.

Leveraging the ocean's carbon removal potential

GreenBiz

In addition to these opportunities, a range of ocean-based carbon removal approaches could help capture and store billions of tons of carbon. Importantly, these approaches would not increase ocean acidification. The ocean absorbs just under one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, contributing to a rise in ocean acidification.
