Corals Can Survive in Acidified Ocean Conditions, But Have Lower Density Skeletons

A new study led by scientists at UC Santa Cruz shows that at least three Caribbean coral species can survive and grow under conditions of ocean acidification more severe than those expected to occur during this century, although the density of their skeletons was lower than normal.
