We can suck CO2 from the air and store it in the ocean as baking soda

One concern I would like studied to see if it’s actually worth worrying about: when water meets CO2, you get a form of baking soda, yes, which spends part of its time as carbonate and hydrogen separately: so the solution pH decreases slightly. Why this is important: animals, especially invertebrates and fish, are very sensitive to acid-base changes, and may suffer a population drop, which affects mammal life, which affects us, etc. That said, that acid-base balance is probably already happening anyway, just by the increased CO2 in the air being more CO2 that contacts water. So is it a problem that would intensify by this technology? I haven’t the foggiest idea. Anyone have some insight?
