In Venice, Italy a company is harvesting the algae that grows in the lagoons for paper. I think they are also burning it for fuel. In the last part of the clip one of the park rangers had a chunk of the algae and tearing it into two. It looked like cardboard.
So has anyone thought to harvest this growth for a useful purpose?
@SpeaksToDragons It is plausible however probably due to it's nature such trials would probably involve a lot of scrutiny by BioSecurityNZ since the spread of it is possible; When looking in waterways after a fresh/flush it looks like large chunks of toilet paper floating down.
If collected and processed could it be good as a crops fertilizer?

@nedeljkomostar Not really, Didymo is a silicon based algae over say a Carbon based one.
