IMG_8334_ocean acidity.jpg Coral on the Great Barrier Reef, off Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Many area of coral reef around the world are threatened by coral bleaching, where the sea temperatures are getting too warm and stressing the corals, forcing them to eject the algae that give them their colour. This consequence of climate change is seriously threatening many reefs. Additionally much of the excess C02 emmitted by man has been absorbed by the worlds oceans, altering the ph balance and making seawater more acidic. This is bad news for molluscs, animals that create shells, the acidic sea water is starting to affect their ability to form their shells. This shot includes a giant clam amongst the soft coral.
