There are 13 provinces along the coast of the Chinese mainland. Although they occupy less than 14% of the nation's territorial area, they produce 41% of the country's annual CO2 emissions. Not far from the coast are 11 offshore sedimentary basins that provide potential large-scale carbon storage reservoirs and sufficient permanent geologic sequestration capabilities for more than 100 years of c...

Coastal areas are some of the most densely populated and economically important parts of the world. So, it should come as no surprise to hear they are suffering under the combined impact of human activities and climate change. Issues such as nutrient overloading leading to eutrophication of coastal waters, harmful algal blooms, dead zones, and acidification plague these areas and nowhere is thi...
