Webinar: Florida, Carbon Removal & The Ocean Economy

WHEN: Thursday, June 27, 4pm ET

WHERE: Streamyard

​Florida’s 8,436 miles of coastline, the second-longest in the U.S., place the state in an advantageous position to compete and lead in the 21st century ocean economy. In addition to its natural resource advantages, the Sunshine State is home to a growing number of world-class ocean research centers, startups, investors, and public-private partnerships that have made it a globally significant center for innovative conservation, restoration and resiliency plans and activities.

​Together, Florida's natural, innovation and commercial ecosystems create favorable conditions for a range of marine-based carbon removal technologies and methods, many of which also have the potential to deliver immediate local environmental and economic benefits consistent with state and community priorities.

​In this 1-hour webinar, OpenAir will convene a diverse panel of ocean economy experts and practitioners to discuss different factors that could position Florida as a major hub for carbon removal research and business in the coming years.
