last year there was a research paper published that said plankton feeding on kelp nullified much of the carbon storage benefit. We need to be very careful to 1) get the calculation correct to be sure it is worthwhile; and 2) make sure companies do not just use this as a dodgy offset method so they can keep polluting and generating profits. Aside from that, any efforts to rehabilitate our eco-systems is surely worthwhile! https://www.resilience.org/stories/2022-03-15/kelp-wont-help-why-seaweed-may-not-be-a-silver-bullet-for-carbon-storage-after-all/
