Ocean Acidification Mitigation
Ocean Acidification Mitigation focuses on reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing the ocean's natural capacity to absorb carbon without altering its chemistry.
Ecosystem-Based Management
Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is a holistic approach that manages marine resources to sustain all parts of the ecosystem, including humans, rather than focusing on a single species or ecosystem service.
Habitat Restoration
Habitat Restoration involves repairing ecosystems that have been damaged by human activities such as coastal development, pollution, or destructive fishing practices to restore their natural function.
Public Education and Outreach
Public Education and Outreach involve informing and engaging the community about ocean conservation issues to inspire behavior change and support for conservation efforts.
Beach Nourishment
Beach Nourishment is the process of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and maintain the shoreline, protecting coastal ecosystems and human infrastructure.
Sustainable Seafood
Sustainable Seafood initiatives focus on promoting the consumption of seafood that is harvested in a way that ensures the long-term health and stability of various marine species.
Marine Protected Areas
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are regions of the ocean where human activities are more strictly regulated than the surrounding waters to protect natural or cultural resources.
Marine Pollution Control
Marine Pollution Control includes strategies to reduce pollutants entering the ocean, such as plastics, oil, chemicals, and sewage, preserving water quality and marine life.
Fisheries Management
Fisheries Management involves regulating fish harvesting to prevent overfishing, rebuild depleted stocks, and ensure a sustainable ecosystem.
International Agreements and Policies
International Agreements and Policies are cooperative efforts between nations to address global marine issues like overfishing, habitat destruction, and marine pollution.
