(1) impacts on marine organisms, including species cultured for aquaculture, and marine ecosystems;
|
||
|
||
(2) impacts on ocean, coastal, and estuarine biogeochemistry;
|
||
|
||
(3) the development of methodologies and technologies to evaluate ocean acidification and coastal acidification and their respective impacts; and
|
||
|
||
(4) impacts of multiple stressors on ecosystems exhibiting hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, or sediment delivery, combined with changes in ocean chemistry; and
|
||
|
||
(5) adaptation and mitigation strategies to address socioeconomic effects of ocean acidification and coastal acidification.
|
||
|
||
(b) Consistency The research activities shall be consistent with the strategic research plan developed by the Subcommittee under section 3704 of this title.
