>>One important angle not yet considered here is the legal one. Dumping anything at sea is very controversial, and is probably unlawful on a large scale. This has been a major problem as regards LOHAFEX, and IMO will be much worst for this technology.
Not so. Organic matter falls every day into the oceans from rivers, and no treaty prevents organic deposits. It is not legally "dumping" but rather part of a natural process. The residue we deposit would eventually end up in the deep ocean, as the majority of carbon on the planet has. This is covered ihn the Metzger-Benford paper as I recall from 2001.
