The ocean is the most resistant ecosystem but due to human activities, ocean acidification is starting to occur, which has resulted to drastic changes in marine communities. Are there any current, feasible solutions to this problem?

scientists have said that It will take more than 700 years to reverse ocean acidification to the point of pre-industrial conditions, even with the most aggressive carbon dioxide removal techniques. You may find the following links interesting. Scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany say that if we were to remove CO2 from the atmosphere at a rate of 2.5 times that of the current annual emissions, oceans would not recover to a low-emission state by 2700.
