There have been discussions of scaling up offshore seaweed cultivation and sinking it
exclusively for carbon sequestration ('ocean afforestation') and thereby help mitigate climate …

Marine scientists have made many recent advances in understanding the connections
between the structure of benthic communities, replenishment of populations through …

The largest seaweed, giant kelp (Macrocystis) is the fastest growing and most prolific of all
plants found on earth. Growing from the seafloor and extending along the ocean surface in …

We compared epifaunal and epiphytic assemblages on the invasive alga, Codium fragile

Ocean acidification is expected to alter marine systems, but there is uncertainty about its
effects due to the logistical difficulties of testing its large-scale and long-term effects …

We examined the effects of native kelps, Laminaria longicruris de la Pylaie and L. digitata
