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 ...
