The Forest in the Sea: Seaweed Solutions to Planetary Problems (Books for a Better Earth series)

This book examines seaweed and other underwater algae as part of marine ecosystems and as a possible response to climate change. It describes algae’s roles in supporting ocean life and mitigating climate effects, as well as its uses in fertilizer, food, bioplastics, and medicine. The book imagines underwater forests filled with schools of fish and includes full-color photographs. Extensive back matter provides additional material on this wet, often overlooked plantlike life.
