- There was rising acidity levels of the continental shelves in Antarctic Marine Protected Areas (MPA) under high levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Carbon emissions from human activities may be vertically mixed with ocean waters in coastal regions, resulting in severe acidification at all water levels.
- The study named Severe 21st-century ocean acidification in Antarctic Marine Protected Areas.
- The ocean helps to mitigate the effects of global warming by absorbing some of the carbon dioxide gas (CO2) that is released into the atmosphere.
- The pH scale could decline by up to 0.36 (on the total scale) for the top 200 metres of the ocean by 2100.
