The potential consequences of ocean acidification on marine organisms are complex. A major concern is the response of calcifying organisms such as corals algae mollusks
For many organisms calcification declines with increased acidification. Other impacts of acidification include reduced survival development and growth rates as well as changes in physiological functions and reduced biodiversity.
