With increasing growth of algae along coast lines, scientists are looking at using aquaculture to remove excess nutrients from the sea says Nicolas Ranninger, from Bord Bia.
Increased levels of organic nutrients evident in rivers has led to growth of algae or phytoplankton blooms on the coast line which can result in severe damage to the ecosystem, especially when the decaying algae release decomposing gazes such as hydrogen sulphide and deplete the waters oxygen levels resulting in anoxia.
