If anything is to survive the daily strain of life along the waterline, preparation is essential. Today, ocean temperatures and pH levels are affected by increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. Find out how the inhabitants of the Rocky Intertidal Zone will pass the high stakes test of changing ocean chemistry.
