Mike,
Thanks for sending the Ocean Fertilization study. Also note that Scientific American, Feb-11, pg 54, has "The Blue Food Revolution" explaining the need for and controversies of fish farming.
Perhaps we should combine aspects of Ocean Fertilization and fish Aquaculture to address Climate, Food, Energy, and Species Diversity in one concept. Current fish farming concepts are like cattle, pig, or chicken feedlots without the supporting herbiculture. The discussed concepts of Ocean Fertilization are somewhat the equivalent of terrestrial high-intensity herbiculture.
A blended approach would recycle the herbiculture nutrients quickly (months, rather than decades) and locally (10 kilometers horizontally rather than 1,000 kilometers). One such blended approach is Ocean Algal Afforestation. Ocean Algal Afforestation is the equivalent of terrestrial forestry but managed to improve species diversity while skimming off energy and food and sending carbon dioxide (from the air) to secure contained sequestration.

ANNOUNCEMENT (for wider distribution as appropriate):
Dear friends,
A Scientific Summary for Policymakers on Ocean Fertilization, commissioned by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO and prepared with the assistance of the Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), is now available through online and in print. The Summary considers the practicalities, opportunities and threats associated with large-scale ocean fertilization.
The Summary for Policymakers is available for download at
http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0019/001906/190674e.pdf
To request a print copy please contact Kathy Tedesco at IOC-UNESCO ([email protected]) or Emily Breviere at SOLAS ([email protected]).
Best regards,Henrik EnevoldsenIntergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO
