Short summary
We used an ocean biogeochemistry model to investigate carbon removal potential of large-scale seaweed cultivation with multiple operational strategies and how it impacts the natural ocean biogeochemistry. Our results show that cultivation can increase atmospheric CO2 uptake, but at the expense of decreasing nutrients, phytoplankton production, and deoxygenation. These trade-offs need to be assessed before considering large-scale seaweed cultivation for carbon dioxide removal.
