Increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere‚ and thus the ocean‚ will continue to decrease the CO32- concentrations in the ocean and thus lowering CaCO3 saturation levels. In regions where the saturation state of aragonite or calcite is greater than 1‚ the formation of shells and or skeletons is favored whereas for values less than 1.0‚ the seawater is corrosive to CaCO3 (John M. Pandolfi). This corrosive condition results in dissolution. Dissolution of the carbonate minerals calcite‚ aragonite

This research was processed through The Keystone Predator model‚ based upon experiments preformed in the 1960’s along the rocky shore of Washington. This environment is the region between the high and low tide levels of a rocky shoreline. The community and population of the environment must survive the cold air and the nature of waves. 9 different species and their populations were simulated. The simulated environmental community contains 4 species of mobile consumers‚ 3 species of filter feeders

For this assessment‚ discuss a variety of techniques used to stabilize shorelines throughout the world. Then answer this question. “Are they temporary or permanent?” Then let’s discuss‚” Two ways in which the development/urbanization of coastal areas contribute to shoreline erosion‚ and what they contribute to our beaches?”‚ also‚ “What increases with the creation of roads and rooftops?” Shoreline erosion is a big expensive problem that is having a negative impact on our environment.
