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. Even apart from carbon capture and storage, deacidifying the ocean is an impactful effort in of itself.
