Kelp raft (surface)
Fresh sinking bundle
Remineralizing bundle
Sequestration horizon
Deepest bundle: 0 m
This 2D companion simulator models the same engineered ocean carbon-dioxide-removal pathway as its 3D twin — growing fast macroalgae at the surface, then deliberately ballasting and sinking harvested biomass into the deep ocean — but renders it as a pair of linked scientific diagrams instead of a 3D scene: a depth cross-section of the water column on the left, and a live analytic Martin-curve phase plot on the right that plots every sinking bundle's exact position on the remineralization decay curve F(z)=F(z₀)·(z/z₀)^(−b). Watch the raft grow under logistic light/nutrient limits, harvest bundles descend through the bacteria-rich shallow layer, and the phase plot confirm — point by point — how much organic carbon survives to the sequestration horizon as verified CO₂ removal versus how much is respired back before it gets that deep.
