‘Ticking timebomb’: #sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire #ecosystems
#OceanAcidification has crossed a crucial threshold for planetary health, scientists say.
Ocean acidification, called "evil twin" of #climatecrisis, is caused when #carbondioxide is absorbed by ocean, where it reacts with water molecules leading to a fall in #pH of #seawater. It damages #coral #reefs and other #ocean habitats and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells.

Stony coral tissue loss disease is a novel coral disease that first emerged in Florida in 2014, and has now spread to 33 countries and territories in the Caribbean, including along the Mesoamerican Reef.

Hey Winston, did you hear?

someone has been destroying A LOT of precious coral! 🪸

6 entire tonnes in one trawl!
6000 kilograms! 1 adult elephant! 🐘
3 utes, even!
Sir David Attenborough would be appalled! 💔

Surely we should be protecting these corals from bottom trawling, shouldn't we?
They are "vital for food security, coastal resilience, and livelihoods of small island states", and right in the Pacific where it is most "significantly felt", too! 🤔

Of course, Mr Peters will immediately take some action to ensure these crucial habitats are properly protected, right?
What better opportunity to prove New Zealand's commitment to coral conservation! 🌊
