<p><strong>Traditional “artificial upwelling” for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) overlooks the coupled biological, microbial, and carbonate pumps that control oceanic carbon storage. By pairing deep (450 m) upwelling with a downwelling ribbon of equal depth, spaced more densely 35–80 km downcurrent, we achieve verified carbon removal, cooler sea-surface temperatures, and sargassum suppression using only wave energy.</strong></p><p><strong>For sargassum control, we rely on phytoplankton outcompeting for nutrients, as phytoplankton grow ~10–30× faster than Sargassum in the same waters.</strong></p><p><strong>In relevant locations such as Caribbean and tropical western Atlantic, upwelling 450m depth water achieves surface cooling - each +1 °C SST reduces the</strong> <strong>maximum sustained wind by roughly 6–8 % or one category on Saffir-Simpson.</strong></p><p>Fisheries benefit is driven by the trophic cascade where each trophic level sees 10% energy gain from prior level, with phytoplankton forming base of ocean food web. In typical open ocean upwelling rates this generates 10,000 tons net primary production as baseline benefit. </p><p>Biodiversity benefits will track the trophic cascade, key being that our upwelled nutrients drive a natural progression of life - no monoculture here!</p><p>Our business model is multi-focused across all benefits and involves innovative funding structures in development such as SAFE-ER whereby the buyer acquires a full suite of outcomes and an equity interest in the project entity. </p>
