We know that plants sequester carbon dioxide. The Amazon rainforest (what’s left of it), mangrove swamps, and sea grasses all remove carbon dioxide from the air. But a recent study by the Oceans 2050 Global Seaweed Project found that seaweed farming can also be an important source of carbon sequestration. … [continued]
