In this study, the authors dicuss open-ocean macroalgae mariculture and sinking (MOS) as ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) method. The results suggest that MOS has a considerable potential as an ocean-based CDR method. However, they argue that MOS has inherent side effects on marine ecosystems and biogeochemistry, which will require a careful evaluation beyond this first idealized modeling study.
