Ocean Acidification is when too much carbon dioxide enters the ocean. If too much enters then the water literally turns into acid. Burning of fossil fuels and gas causes carbon dioxide to be emitted into the air. If there is too much then a lot then too much will fall into the ocean. This affects plantonic and benthic organism because the acid dissolves through their shells. If they are using up all their energy by simply creating their shells then they won't have energy to do anything else except die. Man can help prevent this by emitting less carbon dioxide into the air, especially in the coastal area. I learned that acid can dissolve shells, thus resulting in that creature possibly being permanently extinct , and also that too much carbon dioxide doesn't only damage our ozone layer but also our oceans.
