flag Ocean acidification has crossed a critical threshold, harming marine life and ecosystems due to human-driven CO2 emissions.

flag Ocean acidification has crossed a critical planetary boundary, scientists warn, driven by carbon emissions from fossil fuels and deforestation. flag The oceans, absorbing excess CO2, have become 30-40% more acidic since the industrial era, harming shell-forming marine life like corals, oysters, and plankton, and disrupting food chains. flag This shift threatens fisheries, biodiversity, and coastal communities, especially in vulnerable regions like Canada’s colder waters. flag With eight of nine planetary boundaries breached, experts stress that while the crisis is severe, past successes in ozone recovery and pollution reduction show global action can reverse damage. flag Urgent, coordinated efforts to cut emissions, protect marine ecosystems, and sustainably manage resources are essential to prevent irreversible harm and safeguard ocean health.
