Abstract:One of the efforts made to reduce the increase in CO2 is to use coastal vegetation such as macroalgae. This research was conducted in Poncan Gadang island, North Sumatera. The purpose of this research is to know the density and biomass of macroalgae Sargassum sp. and to estimate carbon storage in the macroalgae Sargassum sp. in the waters of Poncan Gadang island. The results showed that the biomass and carbon stores in Sargassum sp. are quite large and varied from 2.82 kg C m-2, 4.80 kg C m-2, and 4.63 kg C m-… Show more
