Alaska is dependent on a healthy marine environment to preserve its commercial fishing industry and the traditional subsistence harvest of seafood. Researchers are anticipating rapid changes in temperature and ocean acidification of the waters that support Alaska’s fisheries. A study has recently been published that promotes the use of an ocean acidification risk assessment for […]
Rate and Scale of Arctic Ocean Acidifica...
Researchers have found the rate and scale of Arctic Ocean acidification is unparalleled in recent history. Some 20 percent of the Canadian Basin has become more acidic in a short period of time. Swiftly melting sea ice is being seen as the primary cause of this increase in acidification. Seawater absorbs around 25 percent of […]
