This is unfortunate sinos Dr. Woodson's past experience scens to be with la.ndtased elect 2ic;_1 generating systems.

If the test f.rm does not prove the feasibility of such a large narine farm, then the experience of the Japanese does.
They have 1cng e:. ten seaweed c.s a staple, ad in the tnirtie:. st...rted to cultivate it m floating b:.aboo nets.
In 1968, the Japunese grew 76, 400 sq. miles (191,00 sq. kiloneters) of ceu..eed on c.nboo nets.
