Does this mean the plans to sequester carbon in biomass dumped into the ocean will not work? Or would be significantly less effective than hoped?

Who was planning to dump biomass in the ocean?

In any case, CO2 injected into the deep ocean is still pretty much sequestered.

Seaweed farms. The seaweed would fall to the ocean floor, where some hope it could sequester lots of carbon.
