Ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean who catch arctic fish for a living, as well as the economic repercussions which would follow such a major shortage of food and living income for these families. Ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean The Arctic ocean has experienced drastic change over the years due to global warming. It has been known that the Arctic ocean acidity levels have been increasing and at twice the rate compared to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The loss of sea ice has been connected to a decrease in pH levels in the ocean water. Sea ice has experienced an extreme reduction over the
Ocean fertilization been considered by Karl. Concentrations of macronutrients per area of ocean surface would be similar to large natural upwellings. Once exported from the surface, the carbon remains sequestered for a long time. An Australian company, Ocean Nourishment Corporation (ONC), planned to inject hundreds of tonnes of urea into the ocean, in order to boost the growth of -absorbing phytoplankton, as a way to combat climate change. In 2007, Sydney-based ONC completed an experiment involving one tonne of nitrogen in the Sulu Sea off the Philippines. Macronutrient nourishment can give 0.38W/m of globally averaged negative forcing, which is sufficient to reverse
