In addition to these opportunities, a range of ocean-based carbon removal approaches could help capture and store billions of tons of carbon. Importantly, these approaches would not increase ocean acidification. The ocean absorbs just under one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, contributing to a rise in ocean acidification.

In addition to plastic waste, 30 to 40% of carbon emissions from cars, buses, airplanes, and manufacturing plants are absorbed by the ocean, causing chemical imbalance in sea water i.e. Ocean Acidification. Intentional implementation of ocean conservation by EVERYONE.
