General Site Characteristics of Algal Beds by Large Scale Spatial Information For its Effective Usage and Application

Abstract

ABSTRACT：This research, sampling southern part of Boso Peninsula, investigates site characteristics of algal beds by large scale spatial information. Spatial analysis between water quality and algal beds had brought some specialties of the algal beds. We assimilated the appropriate candidate sites for the generation of algal beds with the carbon dioxide consumption under consideration. This produced the data that creating algal beds in the depths of less than 50m could be 30 times more effective in consuming carbon dioxide, than the current status. These numbers are based on the maximum values of our simulation without any economical effects such as traffic, fishery, and adjustment between them under consideration. There are indeed enormous positive implications regarding generating algal beds, especially, the consumption of carbon dioxide.
