„The Earth’s ocean acts as a global climate regulator, and scientists are increasingly studying its chemistry and geology to find potential ways to store carbon dioxide captured from emissions or removed from the air.“
„The kelp forests can also lock up huge amounts of carbon in the fight against climate change, improve water quality and reduce coastal erosion by absorbing the power of the waves.“
„Although some have viewed Australia as a climate laggard, times are changing and at an acceleratingly rapid pace.“
„One Maine startup has an innovative approach that’s drawing attention from scientists and investors: grow massive amounts of seaweed and then bury it at the bottom of the deepest sea, where it will sequester carbon for thousands of years.“

„This chapter explores one such activity, geoengineering scientific research, and examines the recent and emerging regime at both the international and the regional levels designed to regulate this controversial use of the ocean commons.“
Gagern, Antonius; Kapsenberg, Lydia (2021): Ocean Sequestration: Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). A pre-reader for the January 27th funder meeting. climateworks.
„This report provides a detailed overview of several promising ocean-based approaches that may be able to achieve carbon removal at a multi-gigaton scale.“
„Ocean-based CDR mechanisms[nbsp]are currently being explored as part of a growing portfolio of CDR approaches. Philanthropy can play an important role in shaping the maturation process of ocean-based CDR approaches by ensuring transparent, inclusive, and responsible research and policy frameworks.“

„Using a conceptual exploration of the ways in which different types of discourse may shape emerging ocean NETs governance, we show that the very idea of ocean NETs is likely to set the stage for a whole new range of contested futures.“
„One useful categorization of ocean-climate efforts divides interventions into three areas: the mitigation of future greenhouse gas emissions, the accelerated sequestration of atmospheric CO2, and adaptation efforts to help vulnerable habitats and communities adapt to the stresses of climate change.“

„This chapter considers the extent to which UNLCOS may influence the development of new international law rules for marine geoengineering.“
