Fishing Industry Marshall Industry

Scientists in the early years beleived that greenhouse gasses being absorbed by the ocean was a success, and that no dangers would be involved. Unfortunatly Ocean acidification happened in which the fundamental changes in seawater chemistry affected the lives of both marine species and humans, especially those revolved around

Those who live in Alaska have a much more difficult time because carbon dioxide absorbs quicker in the cold water.

fishing. The large fishing industry could be endanger if we dont establish rules or ideals to stop or lessen the amount of acidics in the ocean. People will be jobless and animals will be extinct, from the ocean chemistry change that has made living much more difficult.

In 2009, Alaska accounted for 50% of all catches, to this day it has not changed. With nearly 1 billion people counting on fish for protein, our odds are not good.Morello, Lauren, and Climatewire.("Ocean Acidification Threatens Global Fisheries." Scientific American.June 2016.)
