The acid in the ocean has now become noticable and now effective on the plants and animals. This is causing the coral to crust away, and the Great Barrier Reef is in great danger.
The reason for the loss of colour in the coral and the crusting away of it, is the animals that make up coral, are dying away. The acid is killing the animals and bleaching away the colour in the coral. The waves can bring down the acid from the smoke stacks, on the land, and water and acid, create Carbonic Acid.
Because the Co2, (acid) is affecting the fish and the sea life is being harmed, and the whales and sharks food chain if being harmed too, because the krill, are shrinking is size, and they eat the plankton, and the whales eat the krill, which means they get affected too, all because of this problem.
Well, I’d say that we can’t fix this problem until the world cuts down on electricity and energy, but when and how would that happen? One thing that I think we could do, is cut down on how many cars we drive, how many times we drive them in a day, and how much petrol the whole world uses in one week. I mean, look at China, America and Australia put together in petrol in one week! Also I think we could leave the lights, computer, T.V, and power points off when we are not using them. So, I think, that that could help with the Carbonic Acid in the water.
