Scientific Research for Climate Solutions

Growing Oceans is a non-profit research initiative focused on understanding how ocean microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen in warm oceans. 

Nitrogen-fixation is a key ecosystem service, sustaining both ocean food webs and contributing to the ocean’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide. 

By studying nitrogen fixation in nature, we aim to lay the groundwork for approaches that sustain biodiversity while increasing the ocean’s ability to store carbon safely at scale.
