<p>Apparatus for the containment of algal plantations in open water, seas or oceans comprises a plurality of linked booms to form an enclosure. Each boom has floating part2and a skirt4which hangs generally vertically from the floating part by means of a weighted hem3. The apparatus may have a plurality of anchors which provide a level of control of the shape of the linked booms and prevent the prevailing winds from closing up the sides of the enclosure. There may be unmanned agitation vessels that transverse the enclosure to circulate the developing crop and ensure even expose to sunlight. There may also be a fertilization mechanism which brings up nutrient rich cold deep water. This invention includes a novel mechanism that combines the provision of nutrient from depth with the sequestration of liberated gases from that deeper water and with the provision of renewable energy that drives the whole process and delivers a surplus of energy for additional supplementary processing.</p> |
