Growing seaweed to capture carbon dioxide could deplete ocean nutrients and reduce the effectiveness of natural carbon sinks, according to new research. The approach risks increasing atmospheric CO2 in some scenarios rather than lowering it. Two studies highlight significant ecological trade-offs.
Scientists at Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified polymer-coated fertilizers as a significant source of ocean microplastics, with pathways from farmland directly influencing how much reaches shorelines. Their study reveals that direct drainage from fields to the sea results in far higher beach accumulation than river transport. This work sheds light on the elusive fate of plastics in marine environments.
