π "In our fight against climate change, could the seas turn the tide?"
Context: The article discusses the potential of ocean-based solutions to mitigate climate change.
Key Points:
β Ocean's Role in Climate Change: The ocean has absorbed significant amounts of CO2 and heat from the atmosphere.
πΈThis has led to ocean acidification, warming, and disruption of marine ecosystems.
β Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR):
.
Natural Solutions:
β Coastal ecosystems: Mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows can sequester carbon.
β Ocean fertilization: Adding nutrients to stimulate phytoplankton growth, which can absorb CO2.
Engineered Solutions:
β Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE): Adding alkaline substances to seawater to increase its capacity to absorb CO2.
