The first open-water trial of ocean alkalinity enhancement is underway! 🌊

WHOI's LOC-NESS project is testing how adding alkalinity to seawater can lock away CO₂ — while also fighting ocean acidification.

Ocean-based CDR avoids the land-use conflicts we just saw in the Nature Climate Change study. Rigorous field science before commercial scale = the right approach.

🌊 Woods Hole scientists are testing ocean alkalinity enhancement to fight acidification & store carbon.

The project — LOC-NESS — is running in the Northeast US and aims to keep monitoring and transparency front and center.
