| Title | Adaptation to Ocean Acidification |
| Summary | Ocean acidification is an often overlooked environmental problem which has severe effects on marine ecosystem and thus the livelihoods of those who depend on the ocean biosphere. Its complex background of land-based sources and ocean-based effects makes it difficult to address by research and policy as well. Adaptation to it is therefore even harder; with little awareness and no reduction of atmospheric CO2 in sight, options are limited. If we are to solve this problem, a synthesis of different fields of sciences are needed, which include Earth System Sciences, International Relations and International Law. By exploring the subject with a multidisciplinary approach and reviewing the contemporary research on the subject, important recommendations can be made to tackle ocean acidification, from introducing acidity thresholds to amending fishing quotas and reforming the UNCLOS. |
