Wow, that much, ok why, does the seaweed soak it up or changes it somehow?
Bugger, I see I left out an a in the heading.

The article you’ve posted explains it in some detail

My bad, I haven’t got around to reading it yet, some more articles to read first.
Sounds all good till you get to this..
Bromoform is naturally released from the oceans via algae and phytoplankton, and is a source of ozone-depleting bromine when it enters the stratosphere and troposphere, although it is considered a short-lived ozone depleting substance…

There is no time to waste, we must immediately gather seaweed on an industrial scale and denude the world’s oceans of it.

They are curious beasties. Apparently if you lie down in the paddock they will all come over and hover around you to see what you are.

We could just grow it in vats on land like we do with some fisheries.

Anything out of the normal that doesn’t seem to threatening.

Cows like seaweed. There is a fold of cows..in Scotland?…with seaweed as a greater part of their diet.

Yes. I’ve been thinking for ages that farmers over here with salinity problems should give up growing wheat and just grow seaweed instead. If the salty water table is less than a metre deep just dig a few deep ditches.

But what it escapes the quarantine area and starts invading the salt lakes and flats and then it starts mutating into the Australian variant that can grow in fresh water lakes and creeks and rivers, clogs the water ways and starts using up the water and then theres mass fish kills………….I could go on and on…………….and then it spreads to PNG and Indonesia, up through the islands to eventually China, I could go on and on.
I don’t think you’ve thought this through.

Watch out for that. They’ll move in corral and trample you.
Now that Ive read the article.
The next step might be a blended grass that combines the red seaweed.
I wonder how that would go.

We already harvest heaps of seaweed to make fertiliser and even eat ourselves.
We could combine the fertiliser idea with a salt lick block idea, leaving fertiliser all over the paddock.

Might not like the higher saline content of that water compared to seawater.

Not all of it is hypersaline, much of it is less salty than seawater. Oceans are about 35 part per thousand, limits for agriculture is about 1 ppt. Much of the salinity range across the wheatbelt is between 1 and 35. Small pockets are over 35.

Proper stocking levels would allow regrowth of saltbushes and even things like warrigal greens. Problem is, we really do overstock our arable lands. Mostly the cows eat dead stuff.

Anyway, seaweed grows largely under water. Where in the wheat belt is there that much aqua?

Have a look at Google Earth over the WA wheatbelt. There are patches of slat lakes large and small all over it, plus lot of old paleochannels criss-crossing it all over the place. The saline water is under the surface in the water table. You just need to find a low spot where the water table is at the surface or about a metre below it, then dig out a pond or trench to a few metres depth. It will fill with salty water all on it’s own. Or build above ground pools and pump groundwater to fill them.

I disdn’t mention the salt lakes which I know are numerous because I wanted to hear your ideas. Yes with application a system could be developed but are you factoring in the environmental surveys? I know a little about these salt lakes and presumably there is a lot known that I need to learn but is all that should be learned already known, before we just dig them up like?

It is not exactly digging them up like mining, it is making them deeper. It is not destroying them.

Yes but there may well be an entire ecosystem that depends upon the water being shallow.
