This morning, our Head of Marine Policy Alan Evans moderated a UN Ocean Decade Conference satellite event 'Leveraging knowledge, innovation and empowerment in deep-sea research in support of the stewardship of the Area for the benefit of humankind'. 🌊 #OceanDecade24

💬 'What this research shows is that there is potential in utilising the ocean to absorb CO2 and help support the drive to reach net zero.'

New study tests if common mineral could help reduce the atmosphere’s CO2 🫧 brnw.ch/21wIKxa
