Ocean Conservancy: Responsible Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

The world’s top scientists agree that reducing GHG emissions is not enough to avoid a climate catastrophe. To defend against this crisis, we must also remove greenhouse gases currently in the atmosphere. The bipartisan ReSCUE Oceans Act is a critical piece of legislation that will establish a plan to fund and carry out safe and effective research on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Our ocean already absorbs about a third of manmade carbon dioxide emissions. The growing field of mCDR aims to enhance this natural process but must proceed in safe, transparent and science-backed ways. By advocating for oversight and research into science-based innovations like mCDR, you can help unlock the power of safe, proven ocean climate solutions. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan ReSCUE Oceans Act HERE.
