Algae biomass

A report of the Wind Sea Algae Workshop held in April 2009 at Lolland,
Denmark is available at http://wind-sea-algae.org/?page_id=305 .

Wind Sea Algae is working on the OMEGA project - Offshore Membrane
Enclosures for Growing Algae (OMEGA).

"To put algae in a global perspective, the algae consists of less than
1% even less than 0.5% of global biomass, however this tiny biomass
generates about 40% of our oxygen and removes about 40% of the total
carbon dioxide. The small amount of algae in the oceans are doing a
great job." Pg 33.
