A missing piece of the ocean carbon puzzle
The Convex Seascape Survey, a collaboration between the Blue Marine Foundation, the University of Exeter, and Convex Group Limited, represents the most ambitious effort yet to deepen scientific understanding of the ocean’s role in the Earth’s carbon cycle.
“Anyone who has spent time underwater, whether snorkelling or diving, knows that fish are constantly digging up the seabed,” said author Julie Hawkins.
“It’s hard to believe that such an obvious and important activity has been largely overlooked when it comes to understanding ocean carbon burial.”
