In fact, before I was an ocean plastics guy, I was a shark guy. There is still much more to learn and understand about the interactions and effects of plastics on sharks, but what is known raises concerns about the long-term impacts of plastic ingestion on shark health and ocean health more broadly.

One idea to prevent this CO 2 being released back into the atmosphere is to bury the waste biomass under conditions that prevent or slow decomposition, thereby trapping the carbon underground for centuries. To count as CDR, the biomass must reach the deep ocean where the carbon has the potential to be sequestered durably.
