Also I apologize for the double comment but I think its a point that stands on its own. Kelp is also very useful for dealing with eutrification from either sewer or runoff. There have been some successful pilot experiments in new york harbor on using kelp to clean the water (1). Where its farmed in bulk it also has significant cleaning properties for local waterways (2). So not only does it help with greenhouse emissions but water pollution as well.

- cmrdporcupine 3y agoIn terrestrial environments, similar things have been done with poplar trees: https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/2182/2017/09/Wastewater-Infosheet_final.pdf https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/2182/2017/09/Wastewater-... Grow extremely fast and fix carbon in wood, absorbing excess nutrients along the way. IMHO every cash crop farm should stands of poplars or willows on their borders.
