ref A key
strategy to address ocean acidification is reinforcing existing environmental laws (e.g., U.S. Clean Water Act) to: limit runoff and associated
pollutants,
control coastal erosion, and enforce emission limits for
pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide.
Since short - lived species can significantly influence climate, regional air quality emission
control strategies for short - lived
pollutants will thus substantially impact climate over large scales, such as the Northern Hemisphere.
