  2. Seagrass - Wikipedia

    Furthermore, because seagrasses are underwater plants, they produce significant amounts of oxygen which oxygenate the water column. These meadows account for more than 10% of the ocean's total carbon storage. Per hectare, it holds twice as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and can sequester about 27.4 million tons of CO 2 annually. [85]

  3. Marine primary production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_primary_production

    Marine plants can be found in intertidal zones and shallow waters, such as seagrasses like eelgrass and turtle grass, Thalassia. These plants have adapted to the high salinity of the ocean environment. Light is only able to penetrate the top 200 metres (660 ft) so this is the only part of the sea where plants can grow. [77]

    The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 °C (43 and 57 °F). They are known for their high growth rate—the genera Macrocystis and Nereocystis can grow as fast as half a metre a day (that is, about 20 inches a day), ultimately reaching 30 to 80 metres (100 to 260 ft). [7]

  5. Seagrass meadow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass_meadow

    Seagrasses are terrestrial plants that transitioned to the marine environment. They are the only flowering plants that live in the ocean. Seagrasses are flowering plants (angiosperms) which grow in marine environments. They evolved from terrestrial plants which migrated back into the ocean about 75 to 100 million years ago.

  6. Aquaculture of giant kelp - Wikipedia

    An alternative offset would be to cultivate kelp forests. Kelp can grow at 2 feet per day, 30 times faster than terrestrial plants. Planting kelp across 10% of the oceans (4.5 x the area of Australia) could provide the same offset. Additionally, the kelp would support a fish harvest of 2 megatons per year and reduce ocean acidification. Large ...

  7. Macrocystis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocystis

    Macrocystis pyrifera is one of the fastest-growing organisms on Earth. [23] [24]: 8 They can grow at a rate of 60 cm (2 ft) a day to reach over 45 m (150 ft) long in one growing season. [8] [25] [26] Juvenile giant kelp grow directly upon their parent female gametophyte. To establish itself, a young kelp produces one or two primary blades, and ...

  8. Seaweed farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed_farming

    Seaweed is largely transported from coastal areas to the open and deep ocean, acting as a permanent storage of carbon biomass within marine sediments. [61] Ocean afforestation is a proposal for farming seaweed for carbon removal. [49] [62] After harvesting seaweed is decomposed into biogas (60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide) in an anaerobic ...

  9. Zostera marina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zostera_marina

    Zostera marina is a flowering vascular plant species as one of many kinds of seagrass, with this species known primarily by the English name of eelgrass with seawrack much less used, and refers to the plant after breaking loose from the submerged wetland soil, and drifting free with ocean current and waves to a coast seashore.
