    Only 5% of the entire ocean has been explored. That number is so unbelievable because the earth is 71% water; it takes up most of the earth! Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and other saltwater environments (Kahle). Marine biologists study saltwater plants, animals, habitats, and how all of those factors work together in harmony (Kahle). The ocean is more important than most people realize; it drives weather, regulates temperature, and, ultimately, supports all living organisms

    Ocean acidification (OA) is a global threat because 25% of carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed into the ocean and it decreases its pH value. Through the process of OA, the amount of carbon molecules taken in create an unbalance in the waters’ acidity level. The oceans’ chemistry can try to find equilibrium by joining the extra carbon molecules with those of oxygen, but there will not be copious oxygen molecules to be paired up with the carbon molecules. Turning the oceans’ water solubility more acid
