BC has teamed up with other coastal communities to form the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification.
Spokesperson Jay Manning says ocean acidification is a serious problem affecting the marine environment.
Manning says acidification not only has a major effect on marine life, but also greatly impacts the economy. He notes it affects coastal businesses that rely on shellfish, and fishing resources.
