Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) Interactions with Fish, Fisheries, and Aquaculture

Session ID#: 256124

Session Description:
Along with the need to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change, ocean-climate solutions are gaining interest as possibilities to enhance the ocean’s uptake and storage capacity of atmospheric carbon. Marine carbon dioxide removal, or mCDR, approaches show theoretical potential, yet questions remain to ensure mCDR techniques safely and effectively remove carbon with minimal adverse impacts. Considering mCDR’s interdisciplinary aspects across natural environments, socio-economic landscapes, and regulatory approaches, there is a pressing need to understand how mCDR approaches will interact with marine ecosystems, marine resources, and other ocean uses, including fisheries and aquaculture. This session aims to highlight potential interactions between mCDR and aquaculture and fisheries social-ecological systems along with investigations that shed light on impacts on marine ecosystems and organisms relevant to fishing systems. We welcome original research contributions on topics such as impacts of mCDR on marine species and food webs, ecological forecasting of marine resources, and the viability for marine ecosystems to co-support fisheries, aquaculture, and mCDR. This session also aims to highlight lessons learned from other emerging and growing activities as well as frameworks, best practices, engagement practices, and regulatory structures related to the intersection of mCDR and fish, fisheries, and aquaculture.
