Introduction:
The increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have led to global climate change and ocean acidification, posing significant threats to marine ecosystems and biodiversity. As a response to this pressing issue, sustainable approaches to marine carbon capture have gained considerable attention in recent years. Marine carbon capture involves the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and its storage in the ocean, where it can be sequestered for long periods of time. This thesis explores various sustainable approaches to marine carbon capture and their potential benefits for mitigating climate change and ocean acidification.
