Doing so enables a sustainable long-term harvest of seaweeds and seafood , while regenerating life in the ocean.
Seaweed aquaculture shows potential to act as a CO 2 sink through the uptake of carbon during photosynthesis, transformation of inorganic carbon into biomass, and ultimately the fixation of carbon which can later be exported and buried. [5] [31] [50] Duarte et al. (2017) outline a potential strategy for a seaweed farming blue carbon initiative ...
Other seaweed may be used as fertilizer, compost for landscaping, or to combat beach erosion through burial in beach dunes. [55] Seaweed is under consideration as a potential source of bioethanol.
