Voters Support Ocean-based Carbon Solutions

Strong Bipartisan Support for Ocean Health and Carbon RemovalClimate policy has long been a partisan flashpoint, but new polling reveals a promising area of consensus: Americans across the political spectrum support exploring ocean-based solutions to address carbon pollution. When informed that naturally occurring processes already help counteract carbon pollution and potentially reduce coastal acidification, voters overwhelmingly support the idea of carefully accelerating this process. Eighty percent of voters say adding naturally occurring minerals to help oceans address carbon pollution sounds like a good idea, including 79% of Republicans, 79% of Democrats, and 82% of Independents.Even more striking: nearly nine in ten voters (89%) agree the United States should explore additional ways to protect ocean health and address carbon pollution, as long as the approaches are tested and safe. This includes 88% of Republicans, 93% of Democrats, and 89% of Independents.These findings suggest that ocean alkalinity enhancement and similar marine carbon dioxide removal approaches may represent a rare opportunity for bipartisan climate action, one that emphasizes innovation, safety testing, and environmental stewardship rather than the divisive debates that have stymied other climate policies.‍‍‍‍
