The kelp grown on the farms absorbs five times as much carbon dioxide as plants grown on land, and the cultivated oysters sequester nitrogen runoff that can cause dead zones and algae blooms that harm coastal ecosystems. The design and species used … Continue reading Vertical ocean farming absorbs carbon while providing jobs, food, and coastal protection
