About 93% of global warming goes into the surface layers of the ocean, cutting of circulation of nutrients, which has led to seaweed ecosystem and harvest reduction or collapse in different coastal regions (Australia, California,SE Asia for example). https://www.climatefoundation.org/ has developed a system to upwell water from beneath the thermocline over the past fifteen years. They have shown more than 3x growth over controls, and are looking to scale up and grow kelp offshore and in the open ocean.

Wow, thank you for this!! This is really fascinating.

Do you have a better link to the project specifically and/or the engineering system? I could not find any photos. The only thing I could find was this https://www.climatefoundation.org/uploads/3/0/2/0/30209783/m...

There is some project-specific information on the Channel News Asia documentary titled "Race to feed the World," Episode 2, June 2021. It is available in this description of recent Marine Permaculture information, presentations and podcasts, available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DkZ11CpgSqdUnaNw2-Pt05OZ...

If the Rossby waves begin to taper off what’s their plan?

Resturing natural upwelling does not depend on the strength of raspy waves. Thus it is possible using marine solar, wave and wind energy to restore natural upwelling and regenerate algae productivity offshore...
