Ocean Connector: Engineering Carbon Dioxide Removal in the Ocean

Join us at COVE for an engaging Ocean Connector event featuring a panel on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR)—a growing field at the intersection of ocean science, innovation, and climate action.

Moderated by Levi Morrison, Director | Innovation at COVE, this panel will feature a dynamic group of leaders who are helping shape the future of mCDR in Canada:

• Paul Richards, Senior Corporate Advisor, Infrastructure | Invest Nova Scotia
• Dr. Will Burt, Vice President, Science and Product | Planetary Technologies and Adjunct Professor, Department of Oceanography | Dalhousie University
• Eric Siegel, Chief Innovation Officer | Ocean Frontier Institute

Together, they will explore how mCDR technologies and research are advancing carbon reduction efforts while creating new opportunities for Atlantic Canada’s marine economy. Attendees will gain insight into how carbon crediting fits within this emerging field, why mCDR holds unique promise for Canada, and what role Nova Scotians and local industries can play in shaping its future.

Whether you’re involved in marine technology, policy, or sustainability, or simply looking to learn more, this event offers an opportunity to connect, learn, and discuss how mCDR can drive both environmental and economic impact across the region.
