The low percentage of Maine lobster with shell disease could be temporary, he said. Fox News Acidic Chesapeake Bay water could threaten oysters As the world’s oceans get more acidic, Chesapeake Bay oysters could be at risk. A more acidic bay could make it more difficult for mollusks, such as oysters, to build their shells through a process called calcification. But it could help crustaceans, such as blue crabs, build their shells more quickly, said Justin Ries, a […] Justin Ries for Northeastern Global NewsA slightly more acidic ocean may help coral speciesNew research from associate professor of marine science Justin Ries explains how moderate increases in ocean acidification and temperature can enhance the growth rates of some reef-forming corals. Deep water dataTwo new faculty based at the Marine Science Center are harvesting data from the ocean to understand how global change has impacted its ecosystems and will continue to do so in the future.
