While this process helps provide an important resource (such assalt and clean water) to human populations, it can also be costly. Removing large amounts ofsalt from the Ocean can affect the pH of aquatic environments.pH is an important quantity thatreflects the chemical conditions of a solution. The pH can control the availability of nutrients, biological functions, microbial activity, and the behavior of chemicals.
