Ocean acidity has increased by ~30% over pre-Industrial levels due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2. Pteropods, “sea butterflies,” are planktonic snails that are sensitive to these changes. Scientists have found that their shells are getting thinner & are dissolving, especially at high latitudes.

🐌 I guess National Snail Day is a good time to share the overwhelming diversity of •pelagic gastropods• we saw in the Gulf of California, Mexico, last month. We used scuba and trawls on the R/V Sally Ride, supported by NSF grants and expertise of Brad Seibel and Amy Maas. 🦑🧪

In a new study, scientists have found that ocean acidification has reached farther into the depths, as deep in some places as 1,500 meters, threatening pteropods that make their shells out of calcium, which acidic water dissolves. phys.org/news/2024-11...
3D ocean model shows ocean acidification moving deeper as atmospheric emissions increase

“According to their study, tropical and subtropical coral reefs have lost 43% of their suitable habitat. Polar pteropods, a free-swimming form of planktonic marine snail, and a key part of the food chain, have lost 61% of their suitable habitat, while coastal bivalves have lost 13%.” 🌊🦑🌏
Scientists have known for decades that soaring atmospheric CO2 emissions are causing changes in ocean chemistry, threatening marine life & ecosystems.
In June 2025, a study found that ocean acidification has now passed a safe threshold across large swathes of the world’s marine environment.

We very much suspected dissolution was a major reason that a lot of the open ocean aragonite (mostly pteropods) does not make it to the sediment... It turns out the same might be true for calcites (when it comes to coccolithophores). ⚒️🌊🧪
Microzooplankton grazing on coccolithophores is a previously unrecognized biological mechanism affecting the ballasting of organic carbon to deeper waters.
It could recycle up to 50% of biogenic calcite production in the surface and mesopelagic ocean
