Ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) research is advancing rapidly as part of a global hunt for effective climate mitigation actions. This report examines 12 interest groups in the U.S. OCDR community, spanning from specialists like academic researchers to general information users in civil society. The authors evaluated public-facing products from each interest group, then conducted semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with interest group members to learn about their interests, activities and concerns. Following the analysis of each interest group, we synthesize the most prominent themes.
