The European Project on OceanAcidification (EPOCA) will be launched on 10 June [...] overall goal of the European Project on OceanAcidification (EPOCA) is to fill the numerous gaps in our understanding of the effects and implications of oceanacidification.
Impacts of OceanACIDification) starts today. It is a joint project which examines the repercussions of oceanicacidification on marine biological communities. The effects of oceanicacidification on lime [...] into carbon acid and the concentration of carbonates decreases. This phenomenon is called oceanacidification. The shortage of sufficient carbonates limits the ability of various marine organisms to build [...] Whole ecosystems like coral reefs are affected, too. Field investigations show that effects of oceanacidification on calcium carbonate builders can even be seen today. Furthermore, some habitats which are
