3D Ocean Farming
Contents
Basics
- A combination of Aquaculture , Seaweed Farming , and Mussel / Oyster / Clam farming done in an array of structures designed to facilitate a sort of Artificial Kelp Forest
Ecological Impact
- Will definetly reduce nitrogen pollution and help remediate Ocean Acidification
- Should increase Carrying Capacity of the local enviroment, but would this "take away" from something else perhaps? (ie "steal" from other similar ecosystems, or deprive lower water layers of photoplankton "rain" (especially if harvested)
- Doesn't matter TOO much small scale, but should be analyzed
