Mq,

Re: I thought having it alive in the ecosphere was a better solution - the oceanic ecosphere would boost fish, which is yummy stuff.

One thing I found fascinating in the book chapter that Hugh provided was the projected impact on coral reefs from the sequestration of CO2 in the littoral regions. I hadn't considered the implications on calcium depletion and the devastating effect this would have on corals.

And as we know, coral reefs are some of the most productive regions of commercial fish predation on the planet today.

So, we could sequester CO2, -> Deplete Ca -> Stunt coral reef development -> Decrease biomass on reefs -> End up eating sorghum, lentils and rice.
