Restoration Projects:
- This study aimed to estimate the amount of carbon sequestered by seaweeds, with the view of promoting the use of seaweed farms as carbon sinks. The goal of the CO2 Coastal Removal Belt (CCRB) was to establish both natural and man-made plant communities in the coastal region of southern Korea that will accomplish CO2 removal in the manner of a forest and which can be implemented along various spatial–temporal scales.
- As part of an effort to evaluate structural and functional recovery of created and restored habitat, the macroalgal community and food web structure were studied about a year after the establishment of an artificial macroalgal bed, and comparisons were made with nearby natural counterparts and barren ground communities.
