This is an increase 100 times faster than any change in acidity experienced in the marine environment over the last 20 million years, giving little time for evolutionary adaptation within biological systems, the report says. Carbonate ion concentrations are now lower than at any other time during the last 800,000 years.

New calculations made by marine chemists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) suggest that low-oxygen “dead zones” in the ocean will expand significantly over the next century, with severe effects on marine animals. This could have significant consequences for marine life in these zones.
