Reduce carbon emissions
Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transport when possible. Cut home energy use and support cleaner electricity.
Be careful what you drain or dump
Avoid pouring chemicals, paint, or fertilizer down drains. Runoff and pollution can amplify acidification in coastal waters.
Support carbon-reducing ecosystems
Restore seagrass, salt marshes, and mangroves. These “blue carbon” ecosystems can capture CO₂ and improve local water chemistry.
Support shellfish and ocean restoration projects
Donate or volunteer with projects restoring oysters, reefs, and seagrass—local action with measurable outcomes.
Learn and share the science
Most people have never heard of ocean acidification. Share a clear infographic, a short video, or a trusted source.
Advocate for climate policy
Encourage leaders to cut CO₂ emissions and protect coastal ecosystems. Local action builds national momentum.
