Ocean Acidification by Ryan Birss, Jul 7, 2008 (11:26pm)

This bill will help fund research for ocean acidification, one of consequences of climate change. This is term given to the ongoing decrease in the pH levels of the oceans. Scientists believe ocean acidification can have a direct impact on marine biology as well as other possible negative consequences. It is very important to fund research for this ongoing problem. America is one of the world’s leading fish eaters, so changes to fish habitats can have environmental as well as economic consequences. This bill should be passed soon so scientists can have the proper funds to address this problem.
