The ocean is already a huge carbon sink - and it could do even more. A burgeoning industry of carbon removal solutions, looking to leverage the enormous potential of our marine system, is starting to emerge.

Paul looks at how our oceans currently help us combat carbon emissions, while also dissecting some of the innovative solutions that are emerging within this space.
