Abstract

The workshop ‘Monitoring Environmental Impacts of mCDR Field Tests’, held on 5 September 2025 at GEOMAR and organised by the CDRmare Social Sciences and Humanities Hub, convened a diverse group of scientists and practitioners to advance a shared understanding of what constitutes responsible and feasible environmental monitoring, reporting, and verification (eMRV) for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) field experiments. This report details key insights from the workshop.
