FURTHER ONGOING OCEAN PROBLEMS

_{A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska’s tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ocean. The groundwater only makes up a fraction of the water discharged to the sea, but it’s liberating an estimated 230 tons of organic carbon along the almost 2,000-kilometer Beaufort Sea coastline in summer. As the tundra continues to thaw and the submarine groundwater flow ratchets up, the outflow of carbon from shore to sea could effectively make ocean surface waters a carbon source to the atmosphere and contribute to ocean acidification.}
