Description.

This methodology provides a means to quantify net GHG removals through the treatment of harmful Algae Blooms in freshwater. Harmful algal blooms are the rapid growth of algae or cyanobacteria that can cause harm to people, animals, or the local ecology. This methodology outlines the procedures required to quantify the carbon removals achieved through the initiation of Programmed Cell Death (PCD) and subsequent sedimentation of the algae bloom’s biomass.
