Consequences of ocean acidification include the disappearance of coral reefs, causing loss in shoreline protection and habitat, loss in revenue from food and tourism industries, and the flourishing of invasive algae species due to CO2 for photosynthesis.
Las consecuencias de la acidificación oceánica incluyen la desaparición de los arrecifes de coral, lo que provoca la pérdida de protección costera y hábitat, la pérdida de ingresos de las industrias alimentaria y turística, y el florecimiento de especies de algas invasoras debido al CO2 para la fotosíntesis.
