Oceans
Away Series
These
pieces are about the oceans becoming more acidic and lower in oxygen
levels. The increased CO2 in the atmosphere dissolves
in the water and becomes carbonic acid, which is threatening to dissolve
corals and creatures with shells. Coral reefs that die out look bleached
and colorless. Plankton die-off contributes to ocean dead zones that
lack sufficient oxygen to sustain most sea life.
