Study: northern coastal waters are more vulnerable to acidification Study: northern coastal waters are more vulnerable to acidification Acidified ocean waters can disorient some fish species NOAA and partner scientists speaking Friday, August 17, at the Goldschmidt annual international conference on geochemistry reported their research is finding that coastal waters and river estuaries are more vulnerable to ocean acidification than offshore waters. These waters are more severely affected by ocean acidification because they receive fresh water runoff that contributes to higher levels of dissolved carbon dioxide. Read more
