AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to allow the use of funds from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust for ocean acidification projects designed to mitigate harmful impacts of increased acidity on shelled organisms, such as shellfish. Ocean acidification is a process where the ocean becomes more acidic due to increased absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which can have detrimental effects on marine ecosystems and the industries that depend on them.
