Scientists Combat Climate Change with 6,000 Gallons of Oceanic Chemicals near Martha’s Vineyard.

"Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) aim to pour 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide into waters off Martha’s Vineyard in August 2024, seeking to study its effectiveness in countering ocean acidification and climate change," according to The Wall Street Journal. The $10 million project, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is pending approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). WHOI scientist Adam Subhas, the project's main investigator, explained, "By analogy, we’re adding this alkaline material to seawater, and it is letting the ocean take up more CO2 without provoking more ocean acidification. Everything that we’re seeing so far is that it is environmentally safe." The initiative reflects a broader trend of climate scientists exploring geoengineering projects, with the EPA stating, "EPA will follow the permitting process as described in the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act regulations before reaching a final determination to approve or deny the permit application."
