This work will define the potential vulnerability for Australian marine ecosystems that arises from the rapid acidification of Australia's coastal environments by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide. Our preliminary data suggest that the early life history stages of a wide range of marine species are very sensitive to the impact of ocean acidification. At present, almost nothing is known about the impacts and implications of these changes. Without this knowledge, however, we are in a poor position as a nation to respond and adapt to these changes. We plan to explore this vulnerability for Australian marine organisms and develop a detailed understanding of its implications for Australia's marine ecosystems and associated industries.

这项工作将确定澳大利亚海洋生态系统的潜在脆弱性，这种脆弱性是由于大气中二氧化碳含量上升导致澳大利亚沿海环境迅速酸化而产生的。 我们的初步数据表明，许多海洋物种的早期生命史阶段对海洋酸化的影响非常敏感。目前，对这些变化的影响和意义几乎一无所知。 然而，如果没有这方面的知识，我们作为一个国家就很难应对和适应这些变化。 我们计划探索澳大利亚海洋生物的这种脆弱性，并详细了解其对澳大利亚海洋生态系统和相关产业的影响。
