Here's a very sad story...

Climate-Driven Ocean Changes Affect Estuaries

Pacific Ocean Cooling Triggers Phytoplankton Blooms in San Francisco Bay
Long-term studies by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists have found that a cooling in ocean temperatures led to increased phytoplankton blooms and red tides in San Francisco Bay, California. The declining temperatures took place off the coast of California between 1999 and 2004.

"Are you asserting that they have satellite remote sensing data that shows ocean PH from 1884"

No, but I am asserting that you are not smart enuf to figure out the solution. What do you think Jacques Cousteau was doing on his ship besides making movies? Is there a reason you can't figure this out? Could it be you actually don't know the first thing about how science works, and about how data is collected, that you don't think theway a scientist does?

There are lots of papers like this...
Examination of 24,519 measurements of coastal ocean pH spanning 8 years (Fig. 1) revealed several patterns.

Also, gasp, these days

Here, we present a compilation of continuous, high-resolution time series of upper ocean pH, collected using autonomous sensors, over a variety of ecosystems ranging from polar to tropical, open-ocean to coastal, kelp forest to coral reef
