Mitigation
Mitigation is a short-term strategy to alleviate the immediate impact of climate change on ocean systems and coastal communities -- measures aimed, for example, at reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the source. The approach also relies heavily on engineering solutions such as treatment and filtration, reinforced sea walls, dikes, levees, jetties, and channels to control flooding and erosion, repaired or strengthened infrastructure, and even the relocation of production and people to higher ground.

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
A CROSSOVER BETWEEN MUSIC & JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
