Carbon180's Making Waves Coastal Community Regranting Initiative, recognized on Fast Company's World Changing Ideas list, aims to involve coastal communities in exploring marine carbon removal (mCDR) near them. The first cohort in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico focuses on governance, community input, and ecosystem impacts to build long-term public trust and ensure equitable, locally grounded mCDR development. With the necessity of gigaton-scale carbon removal to mitigate climate change impacts, involving coastal communities in planning and implementation not only helps achieve this goal but also brings jobs and opportunities to these areas. Making Waves is dedicated to empowering coastal communities in the process of carbon removal projects.
