Oysters and eelgrass: potential partners in a high pCO2 ocean
Authors Maya L. Groner, Colleen A. Burge, Ruth Cox, Natalie D. Rivlin, Mo Turner, Kathryn L. Van Alstyne, Sandy Wyllie‐Echeverria, John Bucci, Philip Staudigel, Carolyn S. Friedman Abstract Climate change is affecting the health and physiology of marine organisms and altering species interactions. Ocean acidification (OA) threatens calcifying organisms
Seasonal carbonate chemistry variability in marine surface waters of the US Pacific Northwest
Fingerprinting ocean acidification (OA) in US West Coast waters is extremely challenging due to the large magnitude of natural carbonate chemistry variations common to these regions. Additionally, quantifying a change requires information about the initial conditions, which is not readily available in most coastal systems. In an effort to address this issue,

UCLA research shows how carbon-filled oceans affect a tiny but important organism
Single-celled coastal coccolithophores appear resilient to high levels of carbon dioxide David ColganAugust 03, 2018 Coccolithophores, shown here under magnification, are food sources for small fish and zooplankton, and they also remove huge amounts of carbon from the ocean. — hhmi.org They’re impossible to see with the naked eye.
