Marine carbon dioxide
removal is one of many ways to harness the ocean towards climate
solutions. Interest in mCDR from private
industry is growing, with an eye towards selling carbon credits but the impact
on marine ecosystems and species is not understood.
This workshop will focus on assessing the
state of the knowledge of environmental implications, both risks and
co-benefits, for some of the most popular approaches of marine CDR to
inform ICES and the broader community. Permitting marine CDR, either as research efforts or
operationally, requires knowledge of how the approaches might affect marine
species and ecosystems.
This workshop seeks to better define what we do and
don’t know about potential marine impacts and expects to provide some guidance
about how national governments should navigate the uncertainties.
Registration for this workshop is closed.
