What a wonderfully comprehensive and well-presented report. Hard information is abundant and offered in an accessible, non-ideological manner, with lots of good links and expert sources to back it up. Context is superb: The last four pages spell out which marine species will suffer or benefit from acidification; which industries are especially at risk; how the process could be slowed or reversed; and what individuals can do to help (without plugging any specific organizations). Enlightening and insightful -- this is a highly recommended read.
