The Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) provides coastal and ocean information to the public.
Members of the mCDR Journal Club and CLaM team (Community Leaders and mCDR, funded by Carbon180) wrote an op-ed published by Alaska Beacon gives a high level overview of mCDR and the intent of the CLaM project:

Alaska’s coastal communities deserve a say in geoengineering of our oceans | Alaska Beacon
The idea behind marine carbon dioxide removal, also known as mCDR, is to increase the ability of the ocean to take up carbon dioxide.
