Ocean Solutions to Address Climate Change and Its Effects on Marine
Ecosystems
Jean-Pierre Gattuso <http://www.frontiersin.org/people/u/227907>1,2,3 et al

The Paris Agreement target of limiting global surface warming to 1.5–2∘C
compared to pre-industrial levels by 2100 will still heavily impact the
ocean. While ambitious mitigation and adaptation are both needed, the ocean
provides major opportunities for action to reduce climate change globally
and its impacts on vital ecosystems and ecosystem services. A comprehensive
and systematic assessment of 13 global- and local-scale, ocean-based
measures was performed to help steer the development and implementation of
technologies and actions toward a sustainable outcome. We show that (1) all
measures have tradeoffs and multiple criteria must be used for a
comprehensive assessment of their potential, (2) greatest benefit is
derived by combining global and local solutions, some of which could be
implemented or scaled-up immediately, (3) some measures are too uncertain
to be recommended yet, (4) political consistency must be achieved through
effective cross-scale governance mechanisms, (5) scientific effort must
focus on effectiveness, co-benefits, disbenefits, and costs of poorly
tested as well as new and emerging measures.
