What causes acidification?
Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is being produced faster than nature can remove it, so increasing amounts are being absorbed by the ocean.
