This interesting patent is about using sargassum seaweed for biofuel production - Method of Production of Biofuel from the Surface of the Open Ocean by Michael Markels

What is claimed is:

A method of producing biofuel from the surface of the ocean waters comprising the following steps:

(1) testing a water surface of an ocean to determine a time period that said water will remain for a biofuel generation;

(2) testing said water surface to determine a first nutrient that is missing to a first extent that limits the growth of a first plant life;

(3) applying said first missing nutrient in a form that remains available to said first plant life;

(4) harvesting a first harvested portion of an increased biomass of said first plant life that results from said applying;

(5) removing a first returnable portion from said first harvested portion to leave a remainder of said first harvested portion, and spreading said first returnable portion on said water surface; and

(6) processing said remainder of said first harvested portion into a biofuel component.
