Method and apparatus for the cultured sea algae

Abstract

A method and apparatus for utilizing, processing, distributing and an accompanying business model for sea algae, particularly forced cultured kombu, to prevent the expansion of global warming, by encouraging a re-purchase of the cultured sea algae, by paying the purchaser back, in a constant rate, a part of the profit from the sales of a CO2 omission right, which right depends upon the CO2 absorption and fixation ability.

         20 . The apparatus according to  claim 18  wherein the means for scattering iron slag and dissolving out fertilizer is at least one float which receives the slag and fertilizer in a porous under half portion of the at least one float or a bag of mesh or cloth hung down from or on at least one of the trunk rope. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  comprising at least one kind of underwater detector and an electric transmitter. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  comprising:
 a computer storing a data base of a first record of culturing conditions, yield and carbon fixation volumes for the sea algae in a specific sea area and a predetermined scale; and 
 a computer storing a data base of a second record of the same type as the first record and which have been actually obtained from a multiple dimensional inspection of the apparatus. 
 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein the multiple dimensional inspection comprises a space satellite remote sensing or an underwater remote sensing or a direct artificial sensing. 
     
     
         24 . The apparatus according to  claim 22  comprising at least one kind of underwater detector and an electric transmitter. 
     
     
         25 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein an IC tab is attached to at least one trunk rope. 
     
     
         26 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein the cultured sea algae are brown algae or red algae or green algae. 
     
     
         27 . The apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein the cultured sea algae is kombu. 
     
     
         28 . The apparatus according to  claim 15  wherein the means for multiple dimensional inspection is a means corresponding to a provision of ISO 14604. 
     
     
         29 . An apparatus for culturing sea algae comprising:
 a plurality of floats;   a plurality of trunk ropes;   a weight affixed to the trunk ropes;   an adjusting rope extending between the floats and the trunk ropes;   a plurality of seed ropes held into or on the trunk rope; and   at least one underwater detector and an electric transmitter disposed on at least one of the floats.
