California Ocean Science Trust, in collaboration with a network of partners across the U.S West Coast and Alaska, is conducting a survey to assess the need for and inform the development of a regional marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) exchange/network. Building on existing networks and progress made by the Pacific Northwest and California Current Regional mCDR Nodes, and informed by the results of this survey, the regional exchange/network may build institutional science capacity, coordinate timely information exchange, highlight collaborative research opportunities, and provide science-based guidance to inform responsible policy on mCDR.
The goals of this survey are to
- Identify opportunities for mCDR science collaboration, coordination, and information-sharing,
- Inform development of a regional science exchange/network along the West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia, and
- Gauge potential interest in joining.
This survey is primarily intended for organizations or individuals with scientific and technical expertise, but interested parties from all sectors or backgrounds are invited and encouraged to respond.
Survey responses will be compiled and analyzed by the California Ocean Science Trust. All information received through survey analyses will be shared in an aggregated format; no information shared publicly will be traceable to any individual respondent or institution.
This survey should take 5-15 minutes to complete. If you have questions about this survey or the regional science exchange/network, please reach out to us at: mCDR@oceansciencetrust.org.
Your input is valuable to us. Thank you!
