🌟 Join us next Monday in Sacramento at the #CAClimateSummit!
Register at theclimatecenter.org/summit2026
We'll explore the benefits and concerns associated with new Carbon Dioxide Removal approaches like marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR).
The mCDR field is growing fast. Ocean Visions' Ecosystem Database maps ongoing projects, knowledge gaps, and scientific progress to support #scientists, funders, and policymakers alike.
Explore this unique tool: 🌊 oceanvisions.org/mcdr-database/ #mCDR #ClimateAction
Working in mCDR? Ocean Visions has a free collection of mCDR pathway illustrations you can download and use in your communications. A handy resource for #researchers, #educators, and #ocean innovators. 🌊

Pleased to see @theguardian.com run this thoughtful series examining climate interventions: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... At a time when climate risks are accelerating and public discourse on potential interventions remains largely polarized, these commentaries offer timely nuance and depth.
For anyone interested in the future of marine carbon dioxide removal, this @nytimes.com mag piece is a must read. Deeply reported, it explores what it looks like to move ocean-climate science from the lab to field research and emphasizes fostering dialogue. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...
The @unoceandecade.bsky.social has opened its latest Call for Decade Actions and our GEOS program is inviting submissions, with a focus on projects that reduce and remove CO₂ emissions and repair critical marine ecosystems. Learn more about the call for Actions: oceandecade.org/call-for-dec...
Could adding alkalinity to seawater to increase pH and remove carbon dioxide pollution also help restore ocean health? A new Ocean Visions feature takes you inside Planetary—a team exploring the idea: oceanvisions.org/fieldtrials-...
How can governments, innovators, and researchers work together to support responsible mCDR R&D? Co-hosted by Ocean Visions, this #COP30 session explored key questions and the commitments needed from the public sector to facilitate R&D activities at scale: www.cop-pavilion.gov.sg/vod-14nov
Last month our fellows Mariam Swaleh, Caitlin Wale, and Shamim Nyanda co-convened a session and workshop at the WIOMSA Symposium in Kenya. The role of #mCDR at this conference points to global interest in emerging ocean-based climate solutions. Read the report-out: oceanvisions.org/mcdr-roadmap...
Happening tomorrow at #COP30! As the world confronts accelerating climate risks, we face a dual challenge: scaling emissions reductions while responsibly exploring climate interventions. This session explores how precaution and preparedness can work hand in hand. oceanvisions.org/events/cop-30/
Happening today at #COP30! Co-hosted by Ocean Visions, this session unites experts to showcase mCDR progress, strengthen collaboration, and explore long-term monitoring frameworks. See our full COP agenda: oceanvisions.org/events/cop-30/
We're at COP30 to amplify the role of ocean-based solutions in tackling the climate crisis—from reducing and removing CO₂ pollution to repairing critical marine ecosystems. With our partners, we’re building the enabling conditions to accelerate responsible innovation: oceanvisions.org/events/cop-30/
Ocean Visions Co-Founder and Chair Emanuele Di Lorenzo
Five years ago we set out with a bold mission: to accelerate ocean-based solutions to the climate crisis. As we celebrate this milestone and look to the future, we’re inspired to keep building, innovating, and collaborating. Read our anniversary report: oceanvisions.org/ocean-vision...
We're curating a collection of stories to showcase the dedicated people behind marine carbon dioxide removal field trials. Say hello to Vycarb, a Brooklyn-based startup that’s researching the ocean’s ability to store CO2 through ocean alkalinity enhancement: oceanvisions.org/fieldtrials-...
