The funding measure "Oceans under Stress - Analysis of Marine CO2 Uptake Capacity" is assigned under the research framework program "Research for Sustainable Development" (FONA). The aim is to generate fundamental knowledge about the ocean's ability to store CO2. With the expansion of the knowledge base, the impacts of directly anthropogenic factors of influence are to be assessed and, based on this, targeted regional, international and sectoral regulation and management strategies are to be developed. In the area of tension between protection and use of marine habitats, the funding measure is intended to provide decision-makers with science-based recommendations for action for sustainable marine protection and effective regulation of international affairs affecting the oceans. In this way, the measure contributes with basic knowledge to the goal of the Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" to decarbonise the maritime economy.
