====Ongezeko la asidi====
Kuongezeka kwa asidi baharini ni chanzo cha kuongzeka kwa kiwango cha [[Kaboni daioksaidi|CO<sub>2</sub>]] in the atmosphere, and is not a direct consequence of [[global warming]]. The oceans soak up much of the CO<sub>2</sub> produced by living organisms, either as dissolved gas, or in the skeletons of tiny marine creatures that fall to the bottom to become chalk or limestone. Oceans currently absorb about one tonne of CO<sub>2</sub> per person per year. It is estimated that the oceans have absorbed around half of all CO<sub>2</sub> generated by human activities since 1800 (118 ± 19 petagrams of carbon from 1800 to 1994).<ref name="Sabine2004">{{cite journal |last=Sabine |first=Christopher L. |authorlink= |coauthors=''et al.'' |year=2004 |month= |title=The Oceanic Sink for Anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> |journal=Science |volume=385 |issue=5682 |pages=367&ndash;371 |doi=10.1126/science.1097403 |url= |accessdate= |quote=|pmid=15256665 }}</ref>

Mnamo tarehe Novemba mwaka wa 2009 katika makala katika jarida la ''Science'' yaliyoandikwa na wanasayansi katika Idara ya Uvuvi na Bahari katika eneo la Kanada yaliripoti kuwa yalikuwa yamepata viwango vidogo sana vya vitalu vya ujenzi vya kalsiamu kloraidi inayojenga mifupa ya planktoni katika Ziwa la Beaufort.<ref name=Canwest2009-11-20>

In November 2009 an article in ''[[Science (journal)|Science]]'' by scientists at [[Canada]]'s [[Department of Fisheries and Oceans]] reported they had found very low levels of the building blocks for the calcium chloride that forms [[plankton]] shells in the [[Beaufort Sea]].<ref name=Canwest2009-11-20>

Fiona McLaughlin, mmoja wa waandishi wa DFO, alidokeza kuwa ongezeko la asidi katika Bahari ya Aktiki lilikuwa karibu kufikia kiwango ambapo kingeanza kumumunyisha nyuta za planktoni zilizopo: ''"mfumo wa kiikolojia wa eneo la Aktiki upo hatarini. Kwa kweli, utamumunyisha mifupa ya wanyama hao."''
[[Fiona McLaughlin]], one of the DFO authors, asserted that the increasing acidification of the Arctic Ocean was close to the point it would start dissolving the walls of existing plankton: ''"[the] Arctic ecosystem may be risk. In actual fact, they'll dissolve the shells."''
Kwa sababu baridi inachukua ndani CO<sub>2</sub> kwa urahisi zaidi kuliko maji yenye joto zaidi asidi ni nyingi zaidi katika maeneo ya ncha za ulimwengu. McLaughlin alitabiri ongezeko la asidi litasafiri hadi eneo la Atlantiki ya Kaskazini katika kipindi cha miaka kumi ijayo.
Because cold water absorbs CO2 more readily than warmer water the acidification is more severe in the polar regions. McLaughlin predicted the acidified water would travel to the North Atlantic within the next ten years.
