Should we be geo-engineering the oceans?

„Summary:

  • Carbon dioxide makes seawater more acidic while warmer seas bleach corals and absorb less CO2
  • Nascent technologies aim to remove CO2 by tapping into the ocean’s natural carbon cycles
  • Ocean alkalinity enhancement decreases acidity encouraging absorption of more CO2
  • Estimates suggest the technology could reach 2 gigatons of removals across the world’s coastlines
  • Other systems use membranes to filter CO2 from seawater and convert it for capture and storage“
