Seaweed nutrients mapped to explore carbon capture potential
AIMS scientists have completed the first in a series of planned field trips to Western Australia’s tropical seaweed meadows to understand the nutrient levels required to maximise growth of Sargassum (a common tropical seaweed).
The trip was part of the Blue Carbon Seascapes project to find out if Sargassum can provide a nature-based solution to help reduce climate change impacts by storing carbon.
