  ocean_alkalinity_enhancement:
    text: ocean_alkalinity_enhancement
    description: Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a method to help mitigate climate
      change by increasing the alkalinity of seawater to enhance its capacity to absorb
      and store atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂).
    title: Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement
  biomass_sinking:
    text: biomass_sinking
    description: Biomass Sinking is a method that involves taking terrestrial or ocean
      biomass and sinking it into the deep ocean surface, subsurface, or anoxic basins,
      where it is sequestered. This can be accomplished by large-scale seaweed farming
      or macroalgae cultivation, which incorporates atmospheric CO2 as it grows, and
      then is sunk to the ocean floor. Alternatively, terrestrial plant biomass can
      be sunk to the ocean floor.

  direct_ocean_capture:
    text: direct_ocean_capture
    description: Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) is a method that uses electrochemical
      processes to remove dissolved carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from seawater for
      carbon storage or reuse.
    title: Direct Ocean Capture
  ocean_nutrient_fertilization:
    text: ocean_nutrient_fertilization
    description: Ocean Fertilization is a method that involves adding nutrients, such
      as iron, nitrogen, or phosphorus, to the ocean to stimulate the growth of phytoplankton
      or other microscopic plants that absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) through photosynthesis.
    title: Ocean Nutrient Fertilization
  artificial_upwelling_downwelling:
    text: artificial_upwelling_downwelling
    description: Artificial Upwelling and Downwelling are mCDR methods that involve
      manipulating ocean water movement to enhance natural carbon sequestration processes.
    title: Artificial Upwelling and Downwelling
  marine_ecosystem_recovery:
    text: marine_ecosystem_recovery
    description: Marine Ecosystem Recovery refers to the restoration and protection
      of marine ecosystems to enhance their natural ability to capture and store carbon
      dioxide (CO₂). This method leverages the natural carbon-sequestering processes
      of marine habitats such as salt marshes, mangrove forests, coral reefs, kelp
      forests, seagrass meadows, oyster beds, and deep-sea ecosystems, aiming to rebuild
      biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and carbon storage capacity.
