Global heating is rapidly altering marine ecosystems.
Novel interventions are gaining traction to sustain ocean systems and ocean-dependent societies, but they come with risks. 💥
New @ScienceMagazine explores these interventions and their implications.

民間資金と科学者が中心となって、脱炭素のための大規模な海洋介入計画が進んでいる。海洋アルカリ化、高温耐性GMサンゴ、海藻大規模養殖、沿岸生態系再生など。リスクも大きいが、倫理・測定・公平のガバナンスが整備されてない。ちゃんとやろうという意見論文science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Science (2025)
At #ClimateWeekNYC, our Funders Brief offers 5 strategies for responsible investment in ocean-climate solutions:
Governance readiness
Rights-based interventions
Locally led initiatives
Ethical capacity
Climate effectiveness
Funders brief: bit.ly/46Payuq
The Brief draws on our new @ScienceMagazine paper here: bit.ly/483njCV Proud collaboration with @GrettaPecl @robert_p_streit and others from the amazing Governing Changing Oceans team

Novel ocean-based climate interventions are advancing faster than policies can keep up.
New research by @TH_Morrison calls for coordinated science, funding, policy & community engagement to ensure these solutions support global climate goals. @arc_gov_au jcu.edu.au/news/releases/202…

Researchers are warning that the rapid emergence of novel ocean-based climate interventions has outstripped the capacity of governments and communities to respond appropriately. 👩🔬🌊🌏

It's a collaboration amongst 24 international scientists, brought together in a SNAPP team:snappartnership.net/teams/go…
It introduces an overview of the diverse set of “novel marine-climate interventions”, in virtually every ocean basin 🌎🌍🌏 across 8 main intervention types:

Scoring examples of interventions across...
“Climate Benefit”,
“Intervention Risks”,
“Governance Readiness”, &
“Policy Profile” ...
...shows not all are created equal.

The paper outlines:
1️⃣Why the space of marine climate interventions poses particular challenges,
2️⃣ What these specific challenges are, and...
3️⃣ Which principles for governance can help address these challenges and risks.

In sum:
“Risks include opportunity cost, whereby overhyped interventions can crowd out less hyped but more effective solutions.”

“The very real hazard of maladaptation, whereby intervention risk outweighs climate benefit, could accelerate a parallel social- ecological crisis.”

Prof Tiffany Morrison retweeted
“To avert unintended consequences and secure benefits for climate, oceans, and people, maritime nations must implement responsible transformation governance principles with skill and haste.”

Global heating is changing marine systems. 🌊 🌡️
In response, novel interventions are gaining traction fast.
They aim to sustain ocean systems and ocean-dependent societies - but come with risks. 💥

Work examining the feasibility of glacier interventions must be codesigned in partnerships between scientists and current and future rights holders and stakeholders in harm’s way, write @TH_Morrison @UniMelb & colleagues from @NASAGISS, @otago, + @ucsc.
