Carbon Removal Techniques May Exacerbate Marine Oxygen Depletion, Study Finds

TL;DR Summary
A recent study warns that some marine carbon dioxide removal methods, especially biological ones like ocean fertilization and macroalgae sinking, could significantly worsen ocean deoxygenation, potentially causing oxygen loss 4 to 40 times greater than current levels, highlighting the need for careful assessment and monitoring of these approaches.
