Hightech seaweed farm removes pollutants from estuaries before they reach oceans and destroy ecosyst

Researchers have developed the technology for underwater seaweed farms that can be grown in estuaries and effectively filter out pollutants that runoff from agricultural land before they reach the sea and destroy ecosystems.

A two-year-long study by Tel Aviv University and the University of California, Berkeley developed and then created small seaweed farms that were grown in estuaries leading to the sea and filtered out pollutants such as nitrate that runoff from farms into the ocean with often devastating effects.
