Public evaluations of four approaches to ocean-based carbon dioxide removal

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study investigates public perceptions of four distinct approaches to ocean-based carbon sequestration, including direct ocean capture and ocean fertilization. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of each method among diverse demographic groups. Findings reveal significant variations in public support, influenced by factors such as environmental awareness and perceived risks. The results highlight the importance of engaging communities in discussions about ocean-based carbon solutions to enhance their viability and acceptance.
