that acidic marine conditions brought on by climate change can dissolve the teeth of blacktip reef sharks. And this is based on tests conducted in a study. This study was published August 27. And this was in the Journal of Frontiers of Marine Science. The first seawater pH forecast for the year 2,300 is showing that damage is to shark teeth, leaving them full of holes and cracks. And it's not just the shells, corals, and mussels that are impacted by ocean acidification. Animals that require shells, this was being shown about two years ago, that these shells are going to damage and being eaten away by the acidification of the ocean. But now, teeth of animals, predators like sharks, are being affected. And the highly mineralized teeth of the top predators are being affected. And no one knows what the consequences will be. But scientists have seen and are now trying to measure this damage.
