Seaweed is largely transported from coastal areas to the open and deep ocean, acting as a permanent storage of carbon biomass within marine sediments. [64] Ocean afforestation is a proposal for farming seaweed for carbon removal. [52] [65] After harvesting seaweed is decomposed into biogas (60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide) in an anaerobic ...
Gracilaria parvispora in a refugium, displaying dark coloration under high intensity lighting.. Gracilaria parvispora is composed of pointed, cylindrical branches, 1–4 mm (0.0–0.2 in) in diameter, extending from a central axis, 0.8–3.5 mm (0.0–0.1 in) in diameter, with a single holdfast.
Seaweed farming or kelp farming is the practice of cultivating and harvesting seaweed. In its simplest form farmers gather from natural beds, while at the other extreme farmers fully control the crop's life cycle .
Sea Fresh SeaweedCompost, the South Kingstown-based seaweed harvesting business run by Raymond Xavier, can be reached at (401) 575-3731. A 12-pound bag of dried, shredded seaweed typically costs ...
Under this harvest regime, beds can recover their harvested biomass within a year, [42] [43] and no long-term impact of the harvest on the biomass or morphology of A. nodosum has been observed. [44] [45] Several studies have looked at the impact of the harvest on associated species and have found only limited short-term impacts. [46] [47] [48]
Any ecosystem impacts of using seaweed for plant and crop fertilizer are primarily due to how the seaweed is harvested. [36] Large-scale, unsustainable seaweed farming can lead to the displacement and alteration of native habitats due to the presence of farming infrastructure in the water, and day-to-day anthropogenic operations in the area.

The brown seaweed is expected to start piling up in the Florida Keys in the next few days, with Miami Beach slated to become a hot spot later in the sargassum season, which runs from March through ...
