Seawater carries a built-in shock absorber for acidity: the carbonate buffer. How it works, why it's wearing thin, and what it means for shell-builders and kelp.

Ocean alkalinity enhancement removes CO2 by shifting seawater chemistry. Here is the drawdown chain, dose-by-dose: how much carbon, how fast, and where.

When Pacific oyster larvae began dying in Northwest hatcheries in the mid-2000s, ocean acidification stepped out of the textbook. Here's what happened.
Dr. Lena Fischer ·
Ocean alkalinity enhancement is a leading candidate for durable ocean carbon removal. How it works, what it might store, and the questions still open.

Adding alkalinity near kelp forests could store carbon and buffer acidification locally. What the chemistry promises, what ecology warns, and the safeguards that count.
