There is a major carbon credit opportunity that I hope is financially engineered by the right people. Restoring the kelp forest would sequester more than €1.5B

There is a major carbon credit opportunity that I hope is financially engineered by the right people.
Restoring the kelp forest would sequester more than €1.5B worth of carbon every year. That’s because the kelp grows so rapidly and then is sucked down into the deep sea. Ideally the ecosystem itself would somehow receive money for its services—but short of that, some foundation on behalf of the ecosystem —and short of that, some organization that’d be prepared to use the money to reinvest in other ecosystems.
