The Monaco Declaration (PDF) warns of the dangers to our oceans if we don't terminate the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. The oceans are becoming increasingly acidic thanks the to rise in the levels of CO2 brought about by the industrial age. This is leading to the reduction of habitable space for coral. So, what, you say?
