Climate Change & Coastal Acidification

Climate change is driving shifts in ocean chemistry, leading to coastal acidification that threatens marine life and ecosystem balance.
Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are altering pH levels in our waters, with significant implications for biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal communities.

SDG 14.3.1 & pH as an Environmental Indicator

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.3.1 emphasizes the importance of ocean acidification monitoring through pH measurements.
As ocean chemistry changes, pH serves as a key environmental indicator, providing valuable insights into the health of marine ecosystems.
Discover how our research contributes to global monitoring efforts and supports sustainable ocean management on [link to Data and Resources page].
