Ocean acidification

Environmental, social and governance concerns (ESG).

Ocean acidification is the process of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolving in seawater at an accelerated rate.

This increases the amount of carbonic acid present in the seawater.

In turn, the additional acid can kill coral reefs and kill - or harm - other sea creatures.
