By carefully seeding, or enriching, the ocean with iron-rich dust, Planktos mimics the addition of nutrients that induce rapid growth of plankton in the area known as plankton blooms.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.planktos.com/About/FAQs">Planktos is a for-profit, publicly traded company dedicated to ecosystem restoration, climate change mitigation, and the creation of high-volume, low-cost carbon offsets for individuals and businesses. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.planktos.com/About/FAQs">Planktos will be using iron sulfate, which is environmentally safe and mimics the iron deposited in the oceans naturally.  Because iron is a limiting micronutrient, the amount necessary to spur a plankton bloom is incredibly minimal. The amount of iron added to the ocean is carefully measured and monitored.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.planktos.com/About/FAQs">Planktos will monitor the bloom extensively and take every precaution to ensure that ocean ecosystems are protected and restored. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.planktos.com/About/FAQs"><TABLE class="contentpaneopen"><TBODY><TR><TD valign="top" colspan="2"><DIV align="justify">Planktos’ data and results will be released to public and academic spheres.<BR /></DIV>			</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><SPAN class="article_seperator"> </SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/818654E4-0342-43BD-B7DD-D65D3192161A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
