What happens to marine life when the ocean turns more acidic and hotter? In this episode, marine scientist Jerwin Baure shares the results of his experiments on sea cucumbers and top shells under warming and acidification conditions. He also explains why even “no significant results” matter, and how social media became a tool for science communication and activism. From his research journey at UP Marine Science Institute to his insights on mangroves, seagrass, and blue carbon ecosystems, this episode is packed with climate and coastal science insights every Filipino should hear. #OceanAcidification #ClimateSciencePH #MarineBiology 📚Reference: 1) Baure, J.
