Asidifikasyon oseyan an diminye disponiblite iyon carbonaté yo ki egzije anpil òganis - tankou koray ak molisk yo - pou konstwi vye zo eskèlèt ak kokiy. Pou resif koray, pi enplikasyon an konsènan asidifikasyon lanmè se li yo efè sou kwasans koray, korayèn alg ak pousantaj nan ewozyon chimik nan Reef substra, ki ka gen enpak siyifikatif sou kominote yo pwason depandan.

Ocean acidification reduces the availability of carbonate ions that are required by many organisms – such as corals and mollusks – to build skeletons and shells. For coral reefs, the most concerning implication of ocean acidification is its effects on coral growth, coralline algae and rates of chemical erosion of reef substrate, which can have significant impacts on the dependent fish communities.
