Ocean Nourishment is an Australian private biotechnology company founded in 2004. We aim to boost phytoplankton growth by balancing limiting nutrients such as Nitrogen, Iron and Phosphorus levels in the surface ocean. This helps to removes CO2 from the atmosphere and store carbon in the deep ocean. 

Our immediate focus is to develop the core technology around inshore carbon capture and storage and also to identify open ocean deep-water sites suitable for deployment. ONC is seeking strategic partners to scale this process and third party operators capable of responsibly executing the logistics & operations.
