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.

DISTANCE LEARNING RESOURCES
To support all educators and parents teaching from home in the weeks ahead, the World Ocean Observatory is pulling together a compendium of home-study tools and resources for teaching and learning about the ocean. These resources can be used by parents, schools, educators and others to address the educational gaps being created by local and national ‘shelter in place’ initiatives to help flatten the curve on the Covid-19 outbreak. This list of resources is a work in progress: please reach out if you have other key elements that we should be sharing with our global community.
