One environmental issue impacting the Marine biome is ocean acidification. This occurs when carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, causing them to become more acidic. This increased acidity can harm marine life, especially creatures with shells or skeletons made of calcium carbonate, such as coral reefs, shellfish, and some plankton species. Ocean acidification can also disrupt the food chain and affect ecosystem health. It is primarily caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
