After a comment from a viewer we'd like to clarify that for the sake of simplification our definition of algae includes photoautotrophic organisms like cyanobacteria. There are, however, attempts to develop a new definition of what the term "algae" actually means. Here's for a example an initiative, led by a plant-professor from the University of Cambridge, to change the nomenclature: www.what-are-algae.com/

35 years ago, a fellow gardener (UK) told me he used seaweed on his allotment as his sole fertiliser. Collected it in bulk in his truck, washed it, dried it, dug it in or used it as a mulch around perennial crops. Excellent vegetables. Whenever I go to the beach, if there's an excess of seaweed left high and dry on the shore, I do the same. It is good and I'm not surprised the UK has already started seeing a use for the Sargasson Algae. As I am some distance from the beach and don't go there as often as I'd like, I have started using types of pondweed in the same way. If you get a vigorous type, you've got a great source of easily compostable algae to help build soil levels.

Algae plastic could be a game changer because it would not only reduce our emissions but also it would not use forever chemicals that are in pretty much every living being and it would be better for animals if this plastic was to end up in the ocean as opposed to conventional plastics.

History has shown that it's often a bad idea to outlaw one thing in favor of another. Take as an example electric vehicles, it sounds like a great idea at first glance, but it turns out that the electric grid (at least in Germany) simply can't handle more than one electric vehicle charging per street. It would be an absolute disaster if the government decided to make them a standard. While algae plastics sounds promising, legislating its use always comes with a risk.

Yes, perhaps if you buried the algae deep underground or undersea and waited a few million years, the great pressure and geothermal heat would decompose the cell walls and help the hydrocarbons to separate from the water. Later you'd have to pump out the combustible part of the mixture, and the gases generated through the whole process, and you'd burn them for energy.

I think if the algae die and sink to the ground, they will in time form sediment which captures the CO2. A similar thing is happening for mosses in swamps. The carbon gets sequestered for hundreds of years, unless some human comes along and removes the water and the peat, then it will be all released at once🤪

Additionally, when used to clean industrial water, where they are allowed to grow and then used for biofuels, we have solved one of the major issues of biofuels process (water negative). Here as we are cleabing waste water, it can be said to be water nuetral. Similarly, as they suck CO2 while growing in waste water, they can be considered to be carbon nuetral.

More kelp also means more fish habitat - that helps solve overfishing, too.

2% of the ocean sounds small at first, but then you realise that it's 7M sq. km, so like 2x more than the entire surface of the USA. It's a lot. "some funding" will not help there

If the limiting factor is funding, someone should set up a donation website. If this topic gets shared a lot, even small amounts of money spent by a lot of people could make a change!

Except for toxic algae which kills peoples dogs when they swim in it. Its not all good stuff. Ive seen tens of thousands of dead fish wash up on lake shores because of algae and if you happen to live near this, its extremely unpleasant to say the very least.

If you feed a clam algae it will grow pearls. Normally they grow pearls every 5 years, but feeding it algae will grow pearls every one year. It is the mussel. Mussel is the name of the clam. If you have 100 clams you can make 100,000 a year. If you have 500 clams and do not feed them algae you can make 100,000 a year also.

There's plenty of spare fishing nets in the ocean not doing anything useful. Maybe those could be gathered up and used to gather and manage the sargassum?

Certain cyanobacteria can synthesize a small amount of 'Astaxanthin'. Something that helps curb liver disease. So that is another plus.

In some areas, algal blooms suck enough oxygen to make the water uninhabitable for other species;. There are "dead areas", such as down from the mouth of the Mississippi , where aquatic life is severely compromised.

People rely on fish-processing waste for fish oil for the Omega 3 nutrients, even when overfishing. But fish are at the top of a food chain that collects heavy metals and pest/herbicides. Best to go to where the Omega 3s come from in the first place - clean algae. Capsules at Wal-Mart and elsewhere, way cheaper too
