The Indian River Lagoon in Florida is facing a serious issue. Too many nutrients are flowing into the water. This is causing algae to grow out of control. The algae then die and decay, which makes the water more acidic. This is bad news for shellfish and other sea creatures. Scientists studied the
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a method that aims to reduce the effects of ocean acidification and help marine life. It's been suggested that OAE could potentially help marine creatures that make shells or skeletons out of calcium carbonate, known as marine calcifiers. However, recent studies
In the coastal waters of Southern East, tiny plant-like organisms called phytoplankton are facing some big changes. The ocean is getting warmer and more acidic. This is not good news for these little guys. They are super important because they help make the oxygen we breathe. Scientists wanted to s
The North Atlantic Ocean has been under close watch since 1954. At that time, scientists were only able to measure temperature and salinity at a specific spot, Hydrostation S, located at 32°10'N, 64°30'W. This was long before they could track the ocean's carbon cycle. More recent data from the Berm
