This was interesting to read about. It makes me wonder about Cons Bio. And, the edge effects and habitat fragmentation we learned about.

While this is an interesting idea and I appreciate that they are wanting to preserve AMOC, this idea sounds like an environmental disaster in itself and could lead to so many unwanted consequences. Not to mention the engineering it would require and the likely insane cost that would come with it. Any alteration of the environment will have consequences, but a change of this magnitude would likely cause massive problems.
