Ocean Visions Unveils Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) Site Suitability Planning Tool
Ocean Visions and Esri have collaborated to create a first-of-its-kind Ocean Iron Fertilization Site Suitability Planning Tool.
Together we can advance new solutions to stabilize the climate and restore the ocean
Enormous greenhouse gas pollution is disrupting the climate and driving dangerous ocean overheating and acidification—devastating marine life and diminishing the ocean’s ability to support humanity. Our four-part strategy directly addresses the causes and impacts of climate disruption:
Maximize low-carbon food, energy and transportation from the ocean
Engage the size and power of the ocean to draw down and safely store carbon pollution
Advance collaborative research to slow and avoid catastrophic loss of critical marine ecosystems while we rebalance global carbon cycles
Build a global community to innovate and develop ocean-climate solutions
Ocean Visions has released a first-of-its-kind, interactive database of marine carbon dioxide removal field trials.The tool includes details on technique, sequestration, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV), and lessons learned.
We’re thrilled to announce that the 4th Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025 will be held March 11-13, 2025, in Vancouver, Canada. This action-oriented event will bring together scientists, policymakers, innovators, funders, students, and others to explore solutions and strengthen partnerships to help restore our ocean and stabilize the climate. Registration information coming soon.
With the recent announcement of the shutdown of Running Tide, a Maine-based company working to sequester excess carbon dioxide in the ocean, there has been a swirl of speculation, inaccurate statements, and sweeping conclusions about why Running Tide closed its doors, and what this portends for the field marine-based forms of carbon dioxide removal (mCDR).

Ocean Visions is a nonprofit organization at the center of a robust network comprised of leading universities and oceanographic institutions, and a diverse set of practitioner partners. Ocean Visions works to engage and focus resources from across this network for concerted action, catalyzing collaboration for the co-design, development, testing, and evaluation of solutions to the interlocking ocean-climate crisis.
