Reduce amount of carbonate and dissolve calcium carbonate.
Explanation:
Ocean acidification can negatively affect marine life, causing organisms' shells and skeletons made from calcium carbonate to dissolve. ... Animals that produce calcium carbonate structures have to spend extra energy either repairing their damaged shells or thickening them to survive.
Ocean acidification will affect humans too! It will affect the food we eat since most of our shellfish requires calcium carbonate to form or to fortify their shells. Many of the fish we eat are also dependent on shelled animals for their food source, so the entire food chain is in jeopardy
