PBC Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategies like Coastal Enhanced Weathering (CEW) sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it permanently in the ocean as a form of dissolved carbon called alkalinity, in turn reducing ocean acidification. While CEW and other ocean alkalinity enhancement strategies are believed to have significant potential for scale, real-world trials have only just begun. This talk will discuss how CEW works to capture CO2 as well as lessons learned from the world’s first pilots, which are taking place on the US eastern seaboard, regarding permitting, stakeholder engagement, scientific outcomes, future challenges and more.

About Us

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

MACAN’s committed to understanding, predicting, and mitigating the impact of acidification on our oceans and coastal ecosystems.

A collaborative team committed to addressing the pressing environmental issue of coastal acidification in our region.

What is Acidification

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide drives ocean acidification, lowering pH.

Diverse monitoring addresses complex coastal and estuarine acidification drivers.

Factors such as geography, climate, and human activities vary across different regions, impacting the extent and rate of ocean acidification.

Ocean acidification is driven by excess global carbon dioxide and water pollution from land runoff, and there are ways communities can help.

Species Impact

Converting ocean acidification data into insights about the species living in our water.

Microscopic marine plants that form the base of ocean food webs.

Blue crabs are crucial to Mid-Atlantic ecology and economy.

Gorgonian sea fans and bamboo corals create vital deep-sea habitats.

A diverse group of animals vital to fisheries.

Mid-Atlantic finfish are essential to marine ecosystems and economies alike.

Vital food web organisms with varying responses.

SAV, including eelgrass, provide vital coastal habitat.

Highly complex webs of species that mix in space and time.
