Being precise is hugely important. When people use hyperbole, the majority of the public believes it.
What percent of people believe the oceans are turning to acid and will boil? What percent believes we're going to literally burn, and that's if we don't wake up tomorrow with oceans above our house or flattened by a tornado.
Most of earth's history had an ocean that was less basic than it is today, and that's where life thrived. There's plenty threating populations of creatures humanity cares about in the ocean, and that mostly is the result of the effectiveness of our hunting techniques.
It's like polar bears; if you want more of them, hunt less of them.
