No. Proposed Title Research Gap(s) Objective(s) Importance of the Study Theoretical Framework or Conceptual Framework Mitigating Ocean Acidification: Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Marine Ecosystems under SDG 14 The limited exploration of novel technologies and innovative methods for actively mitigating ocean acidification in marine environments. To identify and evaluate cutting-edge technologies designed to actively reduce ocean acidification and enhance the resilience of marine ecosystems. This study is vital for addressing the critical research gaps in mitigating ocean acidification, offering practical insights into innovative strategies for sustainable marine ecosystems. The findings will inform policy decisions, guide conservation practices, and contribute to achieving the targets outlined in SDG 14.
