In the natural volcanic seeps of Tutum Bay, Papua New Guinea, CO2 bubbles out from cracks in the seafloor and expose the nearby coral reef to a seawater pH between 7.6 and 7.7. That’s 40% lower than the global average ocean pH today!

Micro plastics are very small pieces of plastics, often created when water bottles, nappies, fishing nets, bags, paint and more are broken down by the waves and sun. Corals can mistake microplastics for living plankton their usual food.

Globally, the ocean pH has become 30% more acidic since we started burning fossil fuel intensively.

Changes in seawater chemistry are the other greenhouse gas crisis. Our global ocean absorbs approximately 30% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we release into the atmosphere.

This report assesses the impacts of climate change from a world-wide to a regional view of ecosystems and biodiversity, and of humans and their diverse societies, cultures, and settlements.
