Seaweed could save California’s coastline by reducing ocean acidification

Researchers from the California State University (CSU) found that marine vegetation could play a significant role in minimizing ocean acidification (OA), a phenomenon wherein the ocean waters become too acidic due to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is a chemical reaction brought about by a significant reduction of pH levels in ocean […]
