ReSCUE Oceans Act supports marine carbon dioxide removal research and monitoring.
The ReSCUE Oceans Act establishes a program to support research, development, and field trials of marine carbon dioxide removal. It aims to ensure robust monitoring and protection of coastal and marine ecosystems, coordinate federal actions, and maximize co-benefits for communities and ecosystems. The Act mandates the creation of research areas, either federally administered or through grants, and requires the development of a code of conduct for all users. It also establishes an interagency working group to coordinate federal research and develop standards for marine carbon dioxide removal.
