Can the ocean keep carbon out of the atmosphere? Oceanographer Dr. Morgan Raven explains marine carbon dioxide removal and the search for environments that can store organic carbon for long periods. The conversation moves through mangroves, fjords, oxygen-poor waters, and deep-sea brines to examine ocean carbon sequestration. It also makes the uncertainties clear, including measurement, ecological risk, coastal differences, and what must be proven before any method can scale.
