Mitigating Climate Impact on Marine Ecosystems: Effects of CO2 on Island Nation Economies

Explore the intricate relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels, developing island economies, and coastal nations contributing to pollution. Discover how the ocean absorbs CO2, the impact on reef tourism, ecosystem services, fisheries, and marine calcifiers. Learn about the role of carbonic acid, diatoms, calcium carbonate, and nutrients in sustaining marine ecosystems and the dependence of higher trophic level fish on calcifying organisms. Dive into the effects of light, temperature, and winter storms on CO2 absorption, mixing depths, diatoms, zooplankton, and nutrient cycles like silica, phosphorus, and nitrogen.
