One of the main issues emerging from environmental change with significant ramifications for marine life is Ocean acidification. It alludes to the cycle by which the sea turns out to be more acidic because of expansion in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment. As carbon dioxide levels ascend in climate a critical part is consumed by the sea which prompts a progression of redox responses that decline the pH of ocean water. This peculiarity has broad ramifications for marine life, especially for coral reefs, which are among the most miscellaneous and monetarily significant biological ecosystems in the world. The purpose of this review is to address and assess the impact of ocean acidification on coral reefs and marine life in order to conserve and sustain marine life below water thus fulfilling Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life below water).
