Increasing salinization and altering coastal ecosystems
Decreasing the pressure on wild fish stocks and reducing overfishing
Enhancing biodiversity through the introduction of exotic species
Encouraging the growth of mangrove forests for natural habitat restoration
Question 13
The "15-minute city" concept, where residents can access most daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes, aims to improve urban living by:
