Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) presents a promising means to leverage the ocean carbon sink to mitigate the effects of anthropogenic climate change. The authors report on a series of mesocosm experiments simulating electrodialysis-based OAE through the addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide to seawater in large tanks (∼ 6000 L) and small aquaria (∼ 10 L) at Flax Pond Marine Laboratory, NY.
