The Ocean Carbon Sink Has Set the Next Political Hurdle 1120 - As we stop putting CO2 in the air, instead of the partial pressure difference pushing some of that into the oceans, it will reverse direction. So the oceans will push some of their dissolved carbon back into the air, to establish a new equilibrium. Thus, CO2 removal must extend beyond what’s in the air that we put there, to what’s in the ocean that we once put in the air, but is now returning to the air.

How the Humble Salp Is Helping to Fight the Climate Crisis 0621 - Salps, jellyfish and other gelatinous creatures such as comb jellies remove up to an estimated 6.8 billion tonnes of carbon each year from seas around the world. Of that, some 2 billion tonnes of the carbon is thought to fall to the seafloor, where it stays locked up and out of harm’s way.
Petrifying Climate Change 0621 - Seawater contains a lot of calcium and magnesium. When the calcium or magnesium ions combine with CO2, they form calcite or magnesite. This changes CO2 to a mineral, rock as it were. The chemical reaction is similar to how many marine organisms build their shells. The research team is using electricity to drive this reaction.
Prairies of the Sea 1120 -Sea grassees store up to 18% of the ocean’s carbon sequestration, even though they cover only about 0.1% of the ocean floor.
