Ocean Acidification

Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) emerges as a cutting-edge strategy in the fight against climate change, aiming to amplify the ocean's natural role as a carbon sink. By introducing alkaline materials like sodium hydroxide or olivine into seawater, OAE increases buffering capacity, converting atmospheric CO₂ into stable bicarbonate ions. This not only sequesters carbon but also counters ocean acidification—a pressing...

The Great Barrier Reef, home to thousands of marine species, has lost about 50% of its coral cover in the past three decades due to rising ocean temperatures, acidification, and human activities . In response, 3D printing technology is being hailed as a revolutionary tool for restoration. Projects like those from Reef Design Lab and Archireef use customizable, porous...

The Scale of the Challenge The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, perhaps the most infamous symbol of ocean pollution, is undergoing what could be described as one of the most ambitious...
