The people to blame for of Ocean Acidification is ourselves. One of the main reasons for how this started was us burning too much fossil fuel. Which not only affects our oceans, but also our atmosphere too. According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) ocean acidification can and will most likely change biodiversity, tourism, fishing industries, and the entire food web.

Ocean Acidification can potentially harm the Billion+ people around the world that depend on the food from the ocean. If there are not shellfish to eat, than there wont be any fish. But this might be good for those who fish for a living. The fishes will go down as the prices go up.

Basically do you remember you Filet O Fish at Mcdonalds? Know how its only $1.79 ? Well eventually the price will be raised eventually because of OA.

"Over 70% of global CO2 emissions are produced within city limits. Recognizing this, mayors from cities around the world have joined the C40 Cities Global Leadership Program.  The program's goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cities. Reducing the carbon footprint of the member cities involves municipalities encouraging utilization of alternate technologies, but also individuals willing to take any of the 11 steps recommended to reduce their personal CO2 footprint. Altering or stopping ocean acidification on human- relevant time-scales will ultimately depend upon reducing net CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Reducing nutrient loading could offer a short-term solution to the progression of ocean acidification in some locales."

If an ecosystem has biotic components, it must also have abiotic components.

# data[].attributes.body
This includes animal, plants and all the microorganisms

The acidity in the water weakens the skeletons of the coral and after long periods of time eventually, the skeletons erode away until here in nothing left and eventually, it could wipe out an entire coral colony.

# data[].attributes.body
Ocean acidification might even destroy a coral's home before it actually starts to build it.

# data[].attributes.body
Acidification may limit the coral growth by corroding away the corals skeletal structure while also affecting the growth of new and coming skeletons.

An estimated 30–40% of the carbon dioxide released by humans into the atmosphere dissolves into oceans rivers and lakes.

In fact, as much as 90 percent of the organic material photosynthetically produced by the zooxanthellae is transferred to the host coral tissue.

# data[].attributes.body
The coral uses these products to make proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and produce calcium carbonate.

# data[].attributes.body
Through the process of photosynthesis, they supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids.

a realationship in which one organism benefits from the other and the other one is neither helped nor harmed.

a relationship between two or more species in which they both benefit

# data[].attributes.body
Biologists recognize three main classes of symbiotic relationships in nature:

> mutualism

> parasitism

> commensalism

# data[].attributes.body
a relationship in which one organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it.

An abiotic components. These components can range from rocks to temperature to sunlight, clouds, and chemicals in the soil.

# data[].attributes.body
it is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO ₂) from the atmosphere.

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.

Of, relating to, or resulting from living things, especially in their ecological relations.

# data[].attributes.body
Zooxanthellae is in most reef-building coral. The corals and algae have a mutualistic relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
Symbiosis comes from the words "sym" which means together and "biosis" which means life. Symbiosis occurs when when two organisms create a union in which each is benefited by the other.

# data[].attributes.body
The high water temperature causes the coral to lose their microscopic algae that produces the food that coral need. This is called coral bleaching. Severe or prolonged coral bleaching can kill colonies and make them more vulnerable to other threats.

# data[].attributes.body
The greatest threat to coral reefs is rising water temperatures. The second greatest threat is ocean acidification that is linked to rising carbon dioxide levels in the water.

# data[].attributes.body
they are part of a larger ecosystem that also include mangroves and sea grass beds.

# data[].attributes.body
Coral are classified as "soft coral" and "hard coral". here are about 800 species of coral! Soft coral live in colonies and have no skeletal structure unlike hard coral.

# data[].attributes.body
Coral belong to a large group of colorful animals called Cnidaria. They are in the same category as jelly fish and sea anemones.

# data[].attributes.body
Coral(s) infact are animals not plants but people seem to think they are plants because they root from the ocean floor just like any plant would do on dry land.

# data[].attributes.body
A coral reef is created when hard corals extract abundant calcium from surrounding sea water. Therefore reefs are created by millions of tiny polyps that form large carbonate structures and reefs are home to millions of other species along with fish and other sea critters.
