Alaska's Coastal Communities in Ocean Carbon Removal

Alaskas coastal communities, deeply affected by climate change, should have a strong say in managing oceans, especially with new technologies like marine carbon dioxide removal. The op-ed in the Alaska Beacon emphasizes the oceans significance as home, not just a resource. Scientific tools like robotic floats and satellites can test the feasibility of ocean carbon removal, but community involvement and good governance are crucial. Projects like CLaM and organizations like ExOIS are paving the way for local and Indigenous governments to participate in ocean climate research, ensuring trust and social responsibility.
