The acidification of the oceans threatens the future of oysters.
Summary:
One of the consequences of climate change is the increase in the levels of water acidity of seas and oceans, with
a great impact on marine flora and fauna and which puts in check the future of oysters. Oysters, like the rest of
the bivalve molluscs, use calcium and carbonate to make their shells, when it grow in waters with high levels
of acidity develop a smaller and brittle shell that breaks more easily.

Brittle:Like delicate or fragile
Carbon dioxide:Odorless and colorless gas that is released in the respiration, in the combustions and in some
fermentations.
Acidification:is the name given to the course decline in the pH of Earth's oceans.
Commentary:
From
my point of view, the oysters are very important for our ecosystem,
so
this acid, obstruct the process of doing her shells and this
do
that the little oysters die before doing her shells and they don't grow up to adult.The high levels
of acidity also affect the behavior and the reproduction of other
marine animals .But, the algaeis one that benefits of this acidification
and grow quickly. We have to take care about the marine animals, molluscs , insects and all types of animals.For lower the acid levels, first we have to recycle or don't reuse plastic for wrappers. We should start analyzing the consequences of the climate change becuase is the intation of the acidification.
So,we
have to be conscious of this problem and do something to save this
type of molluscs.
