AltaSea Open House: Captura

About Captura

Captura is a climate technology company pioneering ocean-based carbon removal. Spun out of Caltech, Captura has developed an innovative and scalable process that harnesses the natural carbon removal power of the ocean without harming marine ecosystems. Using renewable energy and advanced electrochemical methods, Captura removes CO₂ from seawater, enabling the ocean to absorb more CO₂ from the atmosphere. With a mission to accelerate global carbon removal at climate-relevant scales, Captura partners with governments, industries, and coastal communities to help restore balance to our climate.

Morgan Pegus-Thomas, Marketing Outreach Manager

Morgan Pegus-Thomas is the Marketing Outreach Manager at Captura, a company developing marine-based carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technology through direct ocean capture. At Captura, Morgan leads community engagement to build public trust, foster partnerships, and increase awareness around ocean-based carbon removal. With a background spanning architecture, life sciences, and climate tech, Morgan brings a cross-sector perspective to the climate space.

We will be celebrating our summer interns and high school mentees for their dedication over the past 6–8 weeks. These emerging leaders have contributed to projects in ocean cultivation, marine energy, and marine exploration sectors.

AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is a leader in the blue economy that strives towards sustainable and responsible use of ocean resources to promote economic growth, improve livelihoods, and ensure the health of ocean ecosystems to address environmental and social challenges within our communities.

Delve into science, technology, engineering, business, and the ocean

This is a great opportunity for students of all ages to learn about ocean-based careers that turn to the ocean to develop solutions for some of the planet’s most pressing challenges, such as climate change, energy supply, and global food security.

Our local ocean-focused and community-based organizations will be available for guests to speak with. Check back — we will announce this month's on-site exhibiting partners soon!
