| Description: |
Ocean acidification, the process by which ocean water acidifies as it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, is changing ocean waters vital to Alaska's fisheries-an industry that supports more than 100,000 jobs and generates more than $5 billion in annual revenue. According to a new study many of Alaska's economically and nutritionally valuable marine fisheries are expected to face significant stress as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to climb.
