Ocean acidification (OA) is the process by which anthropogenically derived atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed into surface seawater, lowering the pH and concentration of carbonate ions in the global ocean (Caldeira and Wickett 2003 ; Doney et al. 2009 ).
Ocean acidification occurs when excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes the oceans to become acidic.
