In fact, the ocean's acid test not only poses challenges to marine ecosystems, it also put on stresses to the undersea film-making industry. Today, I found this interesting video from the ScienCentral News. A group of environmental scientists and oceanographers from the U.S. presented more alarming facts about the ocean's acid test. They have found out that ocean acidification is worse in coastal regions due to natural processes. In the West Coast of North America, seasonal winds caused water upwelled deeper in the ocean, bringing more naturally occuring CO2 with it. Its impact is much more dramatic than ever expected!
With seawater pH expected to decrease further in a much faster pace, will we still get to see all those beautiful coral reefs and colourful fish in real life?Or we will only get to see the 'lively' ocean portrayed by filmmakers?
