Quote1: The addition of lime to seawater decreases the alkalinity, this aids in boosting the sea water's ability to absorb CO2 from the air, and also aids in the reduction of the waters tendency to release CO2 back into the air.
Quote2: The process of making lime generates CO2, but when you add the lime to seawater it aids in the absorption of twice as much CO2 thus making the process carbon negative.

Interesting read. In reality how feasible would this truly be? And if implemented as discussed... would it really work as believed? Would the added lime adversely affect saltwater creatures?
