... Thus, the Strategic Plan could be improved by using the term ‘mitigation' or ‘to mitigate' only in the context of lowering carbon dioxide emissions and not in the context of decreasing the impacts of ocean acidification. In that context, ‘adaptation' is the more appropriate term as it refers to human interventions through changes in infrastructure or management of the marine resources.
