Answer:

yeah the person under me is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Ocean acidification is a consequence of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from fossil fuels. When the ocean absorbs the CO2, the water becomes more acidic. Shelled animals like zooplankton, corals, clams, mussels and oysters cannot grow their shells in the acidic water.
