Oceans of Potential: A look at Marine Carbon Management Today

Today, there exists a global consensus among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists that carbon dioxide removal is indispensable in combating climate change. The oceans are the largest pool of mobile carbon dioxide on the planet and represent an enormous opportunity to mitigate the effects of humans on the climate.  Multiple forms of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) methods are under exploration and/or development currently, each with different mechanisms, opportunities, impacts and risks.

Join us for a timely conversation on Friday, May 31st, between researchers, practitioners and experts in the mCDR space and ocean carbon management space, where we will discuss the extraordinary potential of, and near-term roadmap for, ocean carbon management in California.
