Ocean scientists have begun to explore the potential of floating masses of algae in Ocean afforestation using CDR methods (basic seaweed farming using sugar kelp which is food source) or the rapidly growing belts of the floating seaweed Sargassum as a natural analogue for ocean reforestation; the principal gain is from photosynthesis, fixation of carbon and release of oxygen. If the global warming enthusiasts in the White House want a massive reduction of CO2, Maine might provide the perfect tool. ~ Frank Heller, K.E.W. & Ocean Gardens, Brunswick
