| | ABSTRACT |
| | The ocean represents the largest potential sink for anthropogenic CO2. Discharging CO2 directly to |
| | the ocean would accelerate the ongoing, but slow, natural processes by which over 90% of present- |
| | day emissions are currently entering the ocean indirectly and would reduce both peak atmospheric |
| | CO2 concentrations and their rate of increase. This paper discusses the options for finding ocean |
| | sequestration strategies that are environmentally sound, economically viable, and technically |
| | feasible. In addition, some current research projects in this area are highlighted. |
