Puget Sound acidification has been a topic in several NOAA and other studies with various reports are available.

In addition to impacts on Dungeness crabs and oysters (all ready see as much as a 25% decline) other critters such as pteropods being affected.Pteropods are a small floating snail that is a major component of the marine food web for various species including salmon.

It appears that west coast of north America and especially Puget Sound will be a region where the impacts from acidification will hit early.
