USGS: Arctic Ocean Acidification Study
August 27, 2012 | USGS

“The Arctic Ocean is one of the most vulnerable places on the planet for acidification, yet it is the least-explored ocean. Acidification can disturb the balance of marine life in the world’s oceans, and consequently affect humans and animals that rely on those food resources.” Quoted from the USGS press release.
