Ocean Conservation: Ocean Acidification and the Impacts of Fish Migration

Green Tech Challenge

Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

Meet Ebb Carbon, the Startup Turbocharging Ocean-based Carbon Removal

Greentown Labs

Returning the alkaline salt water to the ocean creates a natural chemical reaction that pulls CO 2 out of the air. Ebb’s approach also has the co-benefit of reducing ocean acidity–one of the biggest problems facing the ocean today. Its technology is scalable to tens of gigatons, he says.

L'Oréal embraces environmental labelling under revamped sustainability strategy

Business Green

The boundaries range from climate change and biodiversity to ocean acidification and freshwater use; three limits have already been passed, according to scientists. Planetary boundaries are nine environmental 'red lines' that researchers have warned will compromise life on Earth if crossed.

Was the pandemic-driven emissions dip in 2020 just a blip?

Business Green

The others are temperature, ocean heat, sea level, glacial mass, sea ice, and ocean acidification. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is increasingly giving us the tools to do just that. The WMO uses seven climate indicators to give a broad view of the global climate, and the level of GHG emissions is only one of them.
