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:
Decarbonize the Global Economy for a Healthy 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
The ocean has immense potential to provide society with low-carbon energy, food, and transportation. We recently completed an in-depth analysis to identify the highest-leverage opportunities to advance select ocean-based decarbonization pathways, choosing Low-Carbon Seaweed-Based Products & Marine Renewable Energy to Power mCDR and the Blue Economy as our new areas of focus.
Whether you joined us in person or followed along from afar, we’re excited to share key takeaways and moments from our Biennial Summit, held in late March, and why they have lasting significance beyond the event itself.
Our recently released Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) Ecosystem Database is designed to support collaboration and accelerate progress. This comprehensive resource connects stakeholders across sectors — from research and government to NGOs and the private sector — promoting transparency, knowledge-sharing, and responsible development of potential mCDR solutions.
Ocean Visions has released a comprehensive database that provides an in-depth repository of the diverse entities in the marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) sector
The Summit will explore approaches and solutions to climate disruption in the ocean through the lens of four key themes.
Ocean Visions fully supports the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s new national strategy to advance research into marine carbon dioxide removal.
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.
