  Further study on organic carbon partitioning and its bioavailability is needed to quantify the effectiveness and impacts of macroalgal cultivation as a CDR strategy. Research on the geometry and environment external to the kelp farm and its influence on the result of the decreased POC production at high densities is needed. Study on the impact of kelp density on the gravitational pump and the air-sea CO2 flux is required.
