Peter, The calculations in "Negative carbon via Ocean Afforestation" are based on actual macroalgae growth rates with whatever CO2 transfer and nutrients are naturally available. Either may be limiting. Your experience would appear to confirm our seaweed forests can be havens of high pH for

I am joining this discussion late, so I hope I am not covering ground already discussed. Some years back a graduate student and I looked at a conceptual scheme to grow algae and sink them into the deep ocean, using increased salinity from evaporation as the “pump”. We found that the rate
