Would if affect me if I go swimming in the ocean?

No, because you're a large adult organism. But if you were a tiny crustacean, you wouldn't be able to grow a shell. This affects tiny crustaceans, but also the young of large species such as king crabs.



The aquarium in Boston has a hands-on demo for kids about acidification impacting the ability of some creatures to grow their shell. Didn't see anyone else but my son and I trying it though. Hopefully the message gets through to more people, but I think too many people fail to see how it could impact them.
