The sea in some areas are Anemic. In human biology this means your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen and remove carbon dioxide (a waste product) from your body. the treatment in some cases is to introduce Iron into the body to help facilitate new healthy red blood cells. Scientist discovered years ago that by adding fairly low volumes of soluble Iron to these areas of sea brought about almost instant positive results in the form of phytoplankton. The study has been discontinued on this Burden of Proof basis The side effects of large-scale iron fertilization are not yet known. Creating phytoplankton blooms in naturally iron-poor areas of the ocean is like watering the desert: in effect it changes one type of ecosystem into another.) . I question the burden of proof principal that stops us from even trying it based on all the things that we knowingly release into the Ocean which we know to be detrimental to its health. I dont for one second think this is a panacea to cure all ills but Id wager it would have a much better effect on the world than say. Oil slicks, North Atlantic Gyres, Japanese Nuclear Waste Spills. Anyways just a thought. have a watch and see what you think. youtube/watch?v=QzaXtaI2TGQ
