Abstract

Ocean acidification poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, impacting biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal communities. As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise, oceans absorb excess CO2, leading to decreased pH and altered marine chemistry. This phenomenon disrupts the delicate balance of marine environments, particularly affecting calcifying organisms such as corals, mollusks, and certain plankton species. Innovative approaches are essential for mitigating the impacts of ocean acidification and restoring ecological balance. This article explores novel strategies, including the development of carbonate mineralization technologies, restoration of marine habitats such as sea grasses and mangroves, and the implementation of marine protected areas. Additionally, we discuss community-based initiatives and policy frameworks aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices. By integrating scientific research, technological innovation, and community engagement, we can create resilient marine ecosystems that withstand the challenges of ocean acidification. This multifaceted approach is crucial for safeguarding marine biodiversity and ensuring the health of ocean ecosystems for future generations
