Presumably that was in an estuary. I am wondering whetehr it was the copper itself that made the water more acidic or the increasing acidification of the water because of CO2, or both?

I am doing the Southampton MOOC, but am rather behind because of other commitments.,
It is fascinating – and there is a lot of useful and interesting reading material. Thanks a lot,

Wiebina
