Marine-based carbon sequestration buoyant structure comprising a frame, a peripheral platform area 1 for housing accommodation and amenities, and carbon sequestration apparatus, wherein the frame supports the peripheral platform area and carbon sequestration apparatus 2,3. The structure is modular. The peripheral platform area may have an annular form and the structure may further comprise a moon pool provided within the peripheral platform area, the moon pool may have a diameter of approximately 40-50km and the peripheral platform areas maybe substantially 1-4 km wide. The carbon sequestration apparatus may comprise a light transmitting means, such as a plurality of light pipes/light trees, wherein the light pipes/light trees may be glass tendrils comprising fibre optic elements. The glass tendrils may extend approximately 70-300 metres below the water surface and may extend around 10km radially outwardly. The present invention further relates to a method of carbon sequestration, the method comprising providing the marine-based carbon sequestration buoyant structure in a major ocean gyre circulation.
