It is my understanding that the Chilean fishery is a pale shadow of what it once was due to overfishing in the past that seems to have pushed it into a stable but much less productive cycle. It is possible that iron fertilization may kickstart it back on the path to its former much higher productivity. Viewed through this lens, the work has merit independent to any carbon that is captured. The work should go ahead but in clear collaboration with the Chilean government. I am not surprised that there are current complaints from Chile about this as Chile has been quite exploited in the past and still keeps little of its natural wealth. Foreign companies have largely been the winners here. Therefore there is strong caution from people of the country. A clear and open collaboration is required to address the local concern.
