Innovating Solutions at the Ocean-Climate Nexus

Brad Ack and David Koweek
Ocean Visions (www.oceanvisions.org)

This talk will provide an introduction to Ocean Visions, a relatively new organization working through a collaborative partnership to advance a new agenda for solutions at the ocean-climate nexus.
With a range of partners including MBARI, Ocean Visions works on a “Four R” agenda to abate the ocean-climate crisis:

Reduce:  Developing ocean-based pathways to a low carbon economy
Remove: Advancing ocean-based pathways to a cleaning up legacy CO₂ pollution
Repair/Regenerate: Researching interventions to repair critical marine ecosystems and avoid dangerous tipping points
Reach: Building a global community of solvers and makers

The talk will also feature how MBARI and OV can work together and where the entry points are for interested people.
