Ocean Conservation: Ocean Acidification and the Impacts of Fish Migration

Green Tech Challenge

Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

Meet Ebb Carbon, the Startup Turbocharging Ocean-based Carbon Removal

Greentown Labs

Want to enhance natural carbon capture and storage? Look no further than our oceans. Oceans are large carbon sinks, absorbing CO 2 and using it to form bicarbonate—essentially, baking soda—that safely stores carbon for thousands of years. This makes oceans a powerful tool for fighting climate change.

UN report: Ocean-based climate action could deliver a fifth of emissions cuts needed to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C

Envirotec Magazine

An area of seagrass and rock on the seabed, Mediterranean sea, France: “Blue carbon” ecosystems could prevent approximately 1 gigatonne of CO2e from entering the atmosphere by 2050, says the report. Ocean-based climate action can play a much bigger role in shrinking the world’s carbon footprint than was previously thought.
