An ambitious global study of the ocean seabed’s contribution to climate change mitigation through carbon capture has made its way to Bermuda, the source of the project’s $15 million budget.
The five-year Convex Seascape Survey has enlisted a team of more than 100 scientists who have been visiting locations around the world collecting sediment from the sea floor for analysis.
Its research could provide crucial data, lacking at present, to make a case for restrictions around destructive fishing practices such as bottom trawling and other human activities that kick up the sediment resulting in the carbon being released back into the atmosphere contributing to climate change.
