"ACID TEST, a film produced by NRDC, was made to raise awareness about the largely unknown problem of ocean acidification, which poses a fundamental challenge to life in the seas and the health of the entire planet. Like global warming, ocean acidification stems from the increase of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution."
This like other excellent uTube clips tells a story that needs to be heard! Can it translate to action?
It is up to us to reduce our consumption, help others to understand, become an example that others can follow and make our voices heard.
The clip above will assist teachers choosing to use the AUSMEPA online Climate Change and Coral Bleaching unit of work
We focus on fish however more broadly it is the ecosystems that service them. There is some surprise that the acidity in the shallow water is changing so soon. Have you seen the latest articles coming out of Washington State about the oysters being unable to reproduce? http://oceanacidification.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/oysters-in-deep-trouble/
