SeaBloom: How Floating Gardens Can Help Our Oceans Breathe Again Our seas are in danger. Fish, corals, and thousands of other organisms struggle to survive in "dead zones" created when parts of the sea run out of oxygen. Pollution, warming waters, and an excess of nutrients—often from trash and agriculture—disturb the delicate equilibrium that marine life depends on, resulting in this oxygen shortage. Similar to how humans would suffer on land, marine life simply cannot live without enough oxygen. What if we could restore the ocean's ability to breathe? Presenting SeaBloom, a fascinating new technology that has the potential to revitalise these troubled waters and contribute to the restoration of the ocean's health. What Is SeaBloom? SeaBloom resembles a garden that floats on the ocean's surface. It's an effective mixture of tiny phytoplankton, the ocean's natural oxygen generators, and bioengineered seagrass, but it's not a regular garden. Und...
