Researchers released 65,000 liters of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine as part of an experiment to explore ocean alkalinity enhancement. The goal is to determine if this method can effectively combat climate change by increasing the ocean's ability to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide. The experiment is designed to assess the potential and impacts of this geoengineering approach.

Testing the waters: can pumping chemicals into the ocean help stop global heating?

To some it was a reckless experiment but scientists hope the dispersal of 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine could ease the climate crisisFor four days last August, a thick slick of maroon bruised the waters of the Gulf of Maine. The scene, not unlike a toxic red tide, was the result of 65,000 litres of an alkaline chemical, tagged with a red dye, that had been deliberately pumped by scientists into the ocean.Though it sounds perverse, the event was part of a scientific exp
