But why is this important? Glaciers and ice sheets store approximately 70% of the world’s fresh water, which are rising at unprecedented rates due to rising global temperatures. The day will raise awareness on the importance of glaciers, snow and ice in t

One of the most significant benefits of seaweed farming is its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into biomass. A portion of this carbon is exported into the marine environment as particulate and dissolved organic carbon during the cultivatio
