Seaweed is technically an algae, of the kingdom Protista.
Farming seaweed is not that complicated and is pretty widespread.
> Today, seaweed makes up nearly 30 percent of the wet weight of all seafood produced by aquaculture globally. About half of cultivated seaweed is red algae and about half is brown; of the brown, most is kelp.
There's also a company called Running Tide "farming" seaweed explicitly and exclusively as a carbon sink technology. Kelp is grown on rafts until it gets heavy and sinks to the ocean floor where it nourishes micro- and macrobiota.
