The Carbon to Sea Initiative, the Kuehne Climate Center, the Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR), and ClimateWorks Foundation are partnering on a Request for Information (RFI) to inform high-impact grantmaking to evaluate and unlock ocean-based solutions to climate change.

This RFI is designed to seek input from researchers and potential field sites for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) research and demonstrations. It represents a significant milestone in the journey to build a Global OAE Field Research Network to accelerate the pace of discovery by uniting researchers and organizations into a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem of knowledge exchange and collaboration. In the future, this network will help exchange learnings, prioritize research and development questions, develop emerging global standards & protocols, create more visibility & exposure for findings, and provide access to research funding, technology, and talent. The RFI will be a critical input to this network and inform strategies for future funding. 

The deadline to express interest via the RFI is Friday, August 15th, 2025 at 5:00pm EDT. Interested parties may respond via either the “researcher” or “field site” tracks. More details and the submission link can be found HERE.
