Research suggests that greenhouse gases are turning Canada’s Arctic waters acidic at a faster rate than anywhere else in the North.
The results were presented to the eight countries that ring the Arctic Circle at a meeting in Finland earlier this week.
The report says that the Beaufort Sea off Canada’s northwest coast will be corrosive enough within a decade to make it hard for animals such as clams or crabs to create shells.
