Hmm they didn’t mention co2 acidification of the water. Some places have so much acidification that crustaceans can’t develop their shells.

Yes, and that's a particularly complicated equation. (Water absorption of CO2 decreases with an increase in water temperature.)

But that doesn't in any way invalidate what happens, so be wary of conservative arguments only quoting part of the equation.

Reminds me of a project my old environmental science professors work. His team built solar powered platforms that oxygenated dead lakes and brought fish populations back. Though it didn’t remove the co2 it was amazing for late 90s work.
