Alkalinization

Alkalinization

Solution Pathway

Adding alkalizing substances to seawater enhances the ocean's natural carbon sink without harming plant or animal populations. This helps to maintain the conditions needed to keep corals alive by reducing pollution-caused acidity of the oceans using tools like olivine sand, which is naturally occurring.
