NO This document describes a proposal to expand large-scale seaweed aquaculture as a method for carbon dioxide remediation and sustainable biomass production. It outlines current global seaweed cultivation and highlights the potential for significant expansion across diverse marine regions. The document explains how cultivated seaweed absorbs nutrients and carbon through marine primary production and may contribute to emission reduction, renewable bio-based products, aquaculture diversification, coastal livelihoods, food production, and biodiversity protection.
