Ricart et al. (2022): Sinking seaweed in the deep ocean for carbon neutrality is ahead of science and beyond the ethics

Aurora M Ricart, Dorte Krause-Jensen, Kasper Hancke, Nichole N Price, Pere Masqué, Carlos M Duarte IN: Environ. Res. Lett. 17, https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac82ff

„Sinking vast amounts of seaweed in the deep ocean is currently being proposed as a promising ocean carbon dioxide removal strategy as well as a natural-based solution to mitigate climate change. Still, marketable carbon offsets through large-scale seaweed sinking in the deep ocean lack documentation and could involve unintended environmental and social consequences. Managing the risks requires a number of urgent actions.“
