Our Mission to Defend The Deep
The Ocean Foundation was on the ground of the 28th meeting of the International Seabed Authority in July 2023 for all three weeks to raise our topline messages on finance and liability, underwater cultural heritage, transparency, and stakeholder engagement.
The 8th Wonder of the World: Mining’s Threat to our Underwater Cultural Heritage
With 80% of the seabed unmapped, Deep Seabed Mining poses a wide array of threats to Underwater Cultural Heritage in the ocean.
Climate Geoengineering and Our Ocean: Considering Ethics, Equity, and Justice
The technical and ethical uncertainties around climate geoengineering are numerous in both carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification
Planetary Sunscreen: Solar Radiation Modification
Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) is a form of climate geoengineering that aims to increase the amount of sunlight reflected back into space – to reverse the warming of the planet.
Trapped in the Big Blue: Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a form of climate geoengineering that seeks to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Endless Unknowns: Climate Geoengineering
The planet is getting closer to exceeding the global climate target. Because of this, there has been an increased focus on climate geoengineering.
