  2. Kelp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelp

    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]

  3. Seagrass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass

    Seagrasses evolved from terrestrial plants which recolonised the ocean 70 to 100 million years ago. The name seagrass stems from the many species with long and narrow leaves, which grow by rhizome extension and often spread across large "meadows" resembling grassland; many species superficially resemble terrestrial grasses of the family Poaceae.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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]

  6. Seagrass meadow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass_meadow

    Typical flow speeds in the ocean are around 0.1 m s −1, generally one to two orders of magnitude weaker than typical atmospheric flows (1–10 m s −1), that can limit dispersal. [52] However, as seawater density is approximately 1000 times greater than air, momentum of a moving mass of water at the same speed is three orders of magnitude ...

  7. Seaweed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed

    "Seaweed" lacks a formal definition, but seaweed generally lives in the ocean and is visible to the naked eye. The term refers to both flowering plants submerged in the ocean, like eelgrass, as well as larger marine algae. Generally, it is one of several groups of multicellular algae; red, green and brown. [7]

  8. Aquaculture of giant kelp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_giant_kelp

    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 ...

  9. 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 ...
