This report is the output of the Workshop on Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (WKMCDR) held on October 2024. The workshop focused on four types of mCDR: ocean alkalinity enhancement, ocean nutrient fertilization, direct ocean capture, and macroalgae cultivation and
sinking (National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, NASEM, 2021). The topics that were discussed at this workshop included:
- Overview of mCDR technologies
- Current mCDR case studies
- Blue carbon in relation to mCDR
- Possible effects of mCDR techniques on marine fisheries and aquaculture species and
- ecosystems
- Rightsholders and invested community perceptions of mCDR
- International and national governance of mCDR and impacts on marine species
- Indigenous considerations and solutions for mCDR
- Fisheries and aquaculture invested in community considerations of mCDR
