Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification is an increasingly dangerous environmental issue, that affects ocean life and ocean chemistry all together. Ocean acidity has increased immensely since the industrial revolution because human-generated co2 is being absorbed into the atmosphere and then absorbed by oceans. With the help of various experts and a great amount of research, Makenzie and I developed what we think could be a possible solution for ocean acidification. Our solution is a floating device containing eelgrass, that would have solar panels that would power a fluorescent white light. It has been found that eelgrass increases pH levels, however it does not photosynthesize at night, so the fluorescent white light would turn on during night by using the energy from the solar panels, and then continue the process of photosynthesis.
