  abstract = {{V}ermetids form reefs in sub-tropical and warm-temperate waters that protect coasts from erosion, regulate sediment transport and accumulation, serve as carbon sinks and provide habitat for other species. {T}he gastropods that form these reefs brood encapsulated larvae; they are threatened by rapid environmental changes since their ability to disperse is very limited. {W}e used transplant experiments along a natural {CO}2 gradient to assess ocean acidification effects on the reef-building gastropod {D}endropoma petraeum. {W}e found that although {D}. petraeum were able to reproduce and brood at elevated levels of {CO}2, recruitment success was adversely affected. {L}ong-term exposure to acidified conditions predicted for the year 2100 and beyond caused shell dissolution and a significant increase in shell {M}g content. {U}nless {CO}2 emissions are reduced and conservation measures taken, our results suggest these reefs are in danger of extinction within this century, with significant ecological and socioeconomic ramifications for coastal systems.},
