After completing the Acid Oceans tutorial and lab and then hearing about the Oyster Crash in the news recently, write a detailed and well written COMMENT here that answers the following questions in complete sentences:  Be sure to check your spelling & grammar (that means capitalize those i’s!).

1. What did you learn about Carbon Dioxide and ocean life (like sea urchins)?

2. Did anything you learn surprise you?  Explain why or why not

3. Why should we care about these small animals being affected (the calcifiers, like sea urchins) when the acid really isn’t strong enough to impact us?

4. What do you think could &/or should be done to help protect ocean creatures from ocean acidification?
