人口增长和社会/技术发展导致大气和海洋中二氧化碳（CO2）的积累，以至于我们现在看到地球气候和海洋化学的变化。海洋酸化是这些变化的后果之一，并且可以肯定的是，随着我们向大气中排放更多的二氧化碳，海洋酸化将继续加剧。海洋酸化是一个全球性问题，可能会影响海洋生物、食物网和生态系统，而依赖海洋在区域和地方层面提供的商品和服务的人们所经历的最为严重。然而，研究还处于起步阶段，有关生物影响的可用数据很复杂（例如，物种特异性反应）。对子孙后代进行有关海洋酸化这一新兴科学的确定性和不确定性及其对海洋物种和生态系统的复杂后果的教育，可以提供有助于评估缓解和/或适应未来全球变化的必要性的见解。本文旨在介绍不同的教育方法、不同的可用材料，并强调教育工作者和海洋生物学家海洋酸化教育的未来挑战。
Population growth and social/technological developments have resulted in the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and oceans to the extent that we now see changes in the earth’s climate and ocean chemistry. Ocean acidification is one consequence of these changes, and it is known with certainty that it will continue to increase as we emit more CO2 into the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is a global issue likely to impact marine organisms, food webs and ecosystems and to be most severely experienced by the people who depend on the goods and services the ocean provides at regional and local levels. However, research is in its infancy and the available data on biological impacts are complex (e.g., species-specific response). Educating future generations on the certainties and uncertainties of the emerging science of ocean acidification and its complex consequences for marine species and ecosystems can provide insights that will help assessing the need to mitigate and/or adapt to future global change. This article aims to present different educational approaches, the different material available and highlight the future challenges of ocean acidification education for both educators and marine biologists.
