And 15 year old Olivia Lazorik has noticed this and became worried if it would effect the creatures like clams and other claimed or creatures with exoskeletons because they need the calcium in the water to make there outer layers. Knowing this did a experiment where she had shrimp in three tanks with salt water of a ph 7.5 (which is the control) and three other tanks with the ph of 8.1 and she fed them the same amount and at the end of the twenty-four days the shrimp with a  higher ph in the water actually had more colorful aprences and were also lighter then the shrimp in the Nora all ph water. In the end she concluded that "in the future environment the shrimp [may be] adversely affected as they do not grow as much.”
 
 In this article I learned about how the co2 foot print humans leave behind is affecting the over all environment such as the ocean. because of this it's making the ocean more acidic making the ph go up to a 8.1 on the ph scale. The reason why this matters is because it's affecting the animals with exoskeletons or shells because they need the calcium in the water to make their shells.Without the calcium they would turn out to be smaller and surprisingly colorful based on the test they did.]]> 2017-09-21 14:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cevans000/eg581ae1w9mo/wish/189783680 cevans000 https://padlet.com/cevans000/eg581ae1w9mo/wish/195265642
In the model above I created the scenario where the Pelagic Crustaceans went extinct and so all the birds like the Fulmar, the Little Auk, or the Kittiwake wouldn't have any food and they all die and disappear. With them disappearing the squid would lose one of their food sources but I doubt it would cause to much issues.
