"in embayments with poor water quality, nutrient pollution accounted for roughly 50% of the acidification levels" 

 

"Under nitrogen loading reduction scenarios, aragonite Ω in the most eutrophic estuaries could be raised by nearly 0.6 units, potentially increasing several stations above the critical threshold of 1."
