Include related ocean acidification, both effects of increased greenhouse gases.
Ocean acidification is the name given to the ongoing decrease in the pH and increase in acidity of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Possible merger
See discussion here about a possible merger to effects of climate change on oceans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Effects_of_climate_change_on_oceans#Merge_Effects_of_climate_change_on_marine_mammals_into_this_article EMsmile (talk) 03:45, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


 * After having a good look at the article, it seems well-maintained. It sufficiently specific that high overlap isn't much of a worry either. I now think it should not be merged. Femke (talk) 11:43, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * To me it looks like at least the sections on ocean warming and ocean acidification are a repetition of what's elsewhere (especially the part on ocean acidification). Also I am finding the structure rather strange, as everything comes under "potential effects" even though the article's title is also "effects of...". Also under "species impacted" it lists only 2 species (polar bears and dolphins). Seems arbitrary to me.

What would be the advantage of keeping it separately from effects of climate change on oceans? EMsmile (talk) 12:39, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1Potential effects
 * 1.1Ocean warming
 * 1.2Primary productivity
 * 1.3Ocean acidification
 * 1.4Sea ice changes
 * 1.5Hypoxia
 * 1.6Species impacted
 * 1.6.1Polar bears
 * 1.6.2Dolphins

There are 2 discussions so as Merging says to use the talk page of the destination article I am closing this one so we can keep discussion in one place.
