Ocean-Tech

We live on a beautiful planet, Earth. The Earth’s surface is mostly covered by water bodies (70%), and 97% of it is oceanic water. Thus, oceans are home to many living organisms and form an important ecosystem. The optimum pH of our oceans has always been slightly basic (saline), between 8.1 to 8.2, ambient for the marine life forms to survive. But the scenario started to change post-industrial revolution. Reports state that oceans are becoming acidic, due to increasing concentrations of H+ ions. As a result, pH has now gone down to 8.06 from 8.1. Prima Facie, it seems to be…
