For just about any information you need on ocean acidification, the fallowing report by Kleypas et all, 2006, is a very useful reference. In this workshop report the authors detail just about every aspect of ocean acidification from Carbonate chemistry, calcificaton response to technology used to conduct these studies. This report outlines what is known currently about acidification and where more research is needed.
If you feel that ocean acidification is something you would like to look into further, Start with this report.
