Here are a few key impacts:</div><div> <strong>Calcifying Organisms:</strong> Species like corals, mollusks, and some plankton rely on calcium carbonate to form their shells and skeletons. Increased acidity reduces the availability of carbonate ions, making it difficult for these organisms to build and maintain their structures.<br> <strong>Food Web Disruption:</strong> Many marine creatures depend on calcifying organisms for food. When these species are affected, it can lead to a breakdown in the food web, impacting a wide range of marine life.<br> <strong>Behavioral Changes:</strong> Research has shown that increased CO2 levels can affect the behavior and sensory abilities of fish, making them more vulnerable to predators.<br></div></div> </div> <hr /> <h3 class="rq-heading">Frequently asked queries:</h3> <div
