Our topic for the Oceanography project is Climate Change and how it affects the ocean. The subtopic we chose to cover is ocean acidification, and the causes and consequences of climate change. This is detrimental because as our world heats up (roughly 1.4 degrees fahrenheit in the last century) heat waves and droughts will occur much more often and at higher levels as our seas will rise. As Carbon Dioxide is released from our atmosphere, the ocean’s pH levels will decrease. This topic is of importance because as this continues to happen the sea life and plants will soon die off.
We want to reach our community, classmates and administration in order to bring awareness to Napa County and help our environment. We want them to understand that the changes they can make in their daily lives can slow global warming and help save our oceans and the earth.
