Pania of the Reef

Pania of the Reef by James Bullough Fine-art Giclée print on Italian cold-press watercolor paper 20 x 16 InchesLimited Edition of 50 Signed & numbered Printed with ♥ by Paragon Press "Pania of the Reef" highlights the importance of coral reef conservation and the issue of ocean acidification (OA). OA is the ongoing decrease in the pH value of our oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the ocean has absorbed approximately one-third of the CO2 we have produced. This has caused an increase of 30% in surface ocean acidity. It is estimated that if we continue to emit CO2 emissions at this rate, ocean acidity may increase 100-150% percent more, relative to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.We encourage you to be conscious of your carbon footprint and energy consumption.
