"Statement of Senator Cantwell"
"As sea water becomes more acidic, it begins to withhold the basic chemical building blocks needed by marine organisms."
"Ocean acidification is real, and there is a clear link between our society's carbons emission and the resulting change in the ocean's chemistry."
"We live on a blue planet. And on this day, the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, it's no coincident that we are focusing our attention on our oceans."
