Cape Cod scientists are pushing back a geoengineering project that looks to dump more than 60,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide into the ocean.

The National Marine Fisheries Service says the project could “adversely affect federally-managed species and other NOAA trust resources” Roughly 35 federally managed species have designated “essential fish habitats” that intersect with the first phase project area.

The EPA agrees with Woods Hole that the project would not harm the ecosystem.

Fishermen across the region highlighted in letters to the EPA how they believe the experiment could affect their operations.

Jerry Leeman , CEO and founder of the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association , said he felt the “project is being done in haste and without proper oversight.
