Interesting/exciting bit of news I read today (or lately): My friend recently mentioned an article that discussed how macroalgae/seaweed cultivation could drastically offset carbon emissions, but I can’t find the source! It said something like if we were to use a small percent of our ocean surface for macroalgae cultivation, we could offset our carbon emissions each year.
