OCEAN 101 HCC Ocean Acidification and Its Current and Future Impact In Pacific Northwest Paper Our Oceans are becoming more acidic and at ever increasing rate and this will have impacts locally in the Puget Sound, along the West Coast, and throughout the entire world. Ironically, what makes the Pacific Northwest such a productive ecosystem in terms of fisheries also makes it more vulnerable to this impact.
For this assignment, write a 4-5 page write up exploring ocean acidification. Your paper should have FOUR clearly labelled sections:
What is Ocean Acidification
What are some of the impacts that we’ll see directly in the Pacific Northwest
What will the future bring
Bibliography containing at least 5 additional sources (CSE format).
Use the following to provide a basis for your paper.
1. TEDx video, Ocean Acidification in Washington State (linked below)
AND
2. Seattle Times Special Report “Sea Change: The Pacific’s Perilous Turn” (http://apps.seattletimes.com/reports/sea-change/2013/sep/11/pacific-ocean-perilous-turn-overview/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).
