Prof. Helen Findlay, a biological oceanographer at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, dives into the alarming state of our oceans. She explains how rising carbon dioxide levels are pushing ocean acidity towards critical thresholds, threatening marine ecosystems. The discussion touches on the struggles faced by calcifying organisms like corals and shellfish. Innovative solutions, such as enhancing natural carbon sinks like seagrasses and exploring new technologies, offer hope as they tackle the urgent challenges posed by climate change.
