Ocean phytoplankton and algae produce 70-80% of the earths atmospheric oxygen. Why is tree conservation for oxygen so popular over ocean conservation then?
In: Biology
AFAIR it’s a bit hard to boost phytoplankton production. You need to seed it with iron / minerals from the land. Usually this gets taken care of by the winds. But if you want to manually seed it, the process will produce more CO2 than you will sequester this way. Trees are a lot easier to work with.
