Marine carbon dioxide removal: How fishermen can have a voice
This is an excerpt from an article published in National Fisherman.
This article is the second in a series for commercial fishermen about marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). mCDR is a set of experimental techniques that could someday play a major role in combating climate change by accelerating the ocean’s uptake and storage of heat-trapping carbon dioxide pollution from the atmosphere.

Marine carbon dioxide removal: What fishermen need to know
This is an excerpt from an article published in National Fisherman.
Marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) is a set of experimental techniques that aim to accelerate the ocean’s uptake and storage of heat-trapping carbon dioxide pollution from the atmosphere. Someday, these techniques could play a major role in combating climate change. mCDR is not yet a major subject of fishermen’s daily dock talk, fishing association newsletters, or industry trade shows, but it’s time we make it one.

Ocean dumping – or a climate solution? A growing industry bets on the ocean to capture carbon
This is an expert from an article published by AP.
Fifth-generation fisherman Jerry Leeman III wants to know what will happen to the lobster, pollock and flounder eggs that float in the water column and on the ocean surface if they are suddenly doused with the harsh chemical.
“Are you telling all the fishermen not to fish in this area while you’re doing this project? And who compensates these individuals for displacing everybody?” he said.

Fishermen voice concerns about ocean alkalinity experiments
This is an excerpt from an article published in National Fisherman.
New England waters may soon be the location for a first-of-its-kind field trial to test a technique called ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) that could someday become a pivotal tool in the fight against climate change. But fishermen are concerned that the experiment could further disrupt an ecosystem and fishing industry already contending with the effects of offshore wind energy development and climate change.
