Iron dumping
"I like the iron dumping hypothesis where one would put
powdered iron into iron deficient dead zones of the ocean
catalyzing the production of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton
produces 50% of the earth's oxygen, so it would make sense to
want more of that stuff. Also we wouldn't be upsetting the
ecosystem because all we're doing is bringing life to dead
zones in the ocean. Phytoplankton is at the bottom of the food
chain, no other organism in the ocean can life without these
guys. Ocean farming and other companies have implemented iron
dumping in the past with good results, but now that company has
turned to fish farming----another possible good way to make
money. Iron dumpying causes phytoplankton to grow, and fish
rush to eat that stuff. So it's an instant source of food for
fish so we could farm fish easily. The trick is to find the
areas that are deficient of iron in the ocean and has all the
other nutrients that plankton need. mostly, the oceans have
what phytoplankton need, they just lack the iron."
