Ocean acidification is a serious problem that affects marine life and ecosystems. It is caused by the excess carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere that dissolves into the ocean and lowers its pH, making it more acidic. Some possible solutions to mitigate ocean acidification are:

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This is the most effective and long-term solution, as it would reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the ocean. This can be done by switching to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, promoting low-carbon transportation, and implementing carbon pricing policies123.
Geoengineering: This is a large-scale intervention to reverse the earth’s climate by artificially increasing the ocean’s alkalinity (the opposite of acidity). One method is ocean liming, which involves adding calcium hydroxide (lime) to the seawater to increase its pH and enhance its CO2 uptake42. However, this method is costly, risky, and may have unintended consequences for marine ecosystems4.
Adapting to ocean acidification: This involves helping marine resource-dependent communities and industries to cope with the existing and future impacts of ocean acidification.
