Growing plankton in the ocean won alone save the world from climate change so why do research on the topic at all?
Ecorestoration and biomass carbon sequestration is becoming a feature in emission management schemes around the world. Forestry projects are the most prominent of these programs and new forests are being planted to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere and sequester carbon in living trees. In addition stable grasslands are also being created for the same purpose of biomass carbon sequestration. Both of these methods are approved by international agencies as effect and allowed to participate in carbon credit trading programs. Not all of earths land mass is suitable for growing forests and prairie grasslands and of course no one proposes to use the whole of earths land mass for such efforts. The world is more than 2/3’s ocean and those oceans have also traditionally supported abundant plant life. It is logical to presume that some regions of the worlds oceans, just as some regions of the worlds land mass, are suited to encouraging plant growth for the benefits derived from ecorestoration and one
