Extra carbon dioxide that we are adding to the atmosphere by our use of fossil fuels is building up in the atmosphere. Some of this is absorbed by the surface levels of the oceans. There are reports that oceans are becoming more acidic (carbonic acid) which is making it difficult for marine creatures with shells (oysters, mollusks , crabs, etc) to grow strong shells (calcification). The food chain of the crab may also be disrupted as the smaller animals that are its prey may not survive.
