RE: Brainstorming ways to Improve Ocean Health
Industrialization has its own downside for our environment and I think we just need to use more greener energy instead of fossil fuels. Marine plants does filter wastes from the oceans and they also produce oxygen so it will be also better to cultivate them into our oceans but that takes resources again which boils down to using greener energy.
Switching to greener energy would be my first choice too, and it looks very hopeful that we will be doing so soon. However, we are also depleting the ocean fish by overfishing and pollution. Spending some resources in producing a better environment for supporting the larger ocean fish seems good. Granted there are always secondary unplanned effects of any action we may take but artificial upwelling to produce increased phytoplankton seems initially to be a good idea as far as I can see but I'm no expert in this.
