Notes

Scope and Content:
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing acidification of Earth’s oceans with potentially serious impacts, within the 21st century, for the sustainability and management of many marine and coastal ecosystems and fisheries. Ocean acidification and its impacts will be seen first in the Southern Ocean, providing early signals of what is likely to follow elsewhere. Progressive ocean acidification in temperate and tropical seas may have significant ramifications for human communities dependent on coastal resources in Australia, the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Regions.
