Those algal blooms kill or drive away many pelagic fishes, thus opening the door for a jellyfish explosion, due to an increase in their food source. The oceans are already in danger of becoming jellyfish predominant as a result of overfishing the small fish such as sardines that eat the juveniles. We have no clue as to the long range effects of dumping gigatons of iron into the ocean, however, I do know what David Brower said about these situations in general...."In games of environmental brinksmanship, the best step to take is backwards." The best way to cure the oceans is to QUIT putting sh*t in it in the first place, establish fishing quotas that will create sustainable populations, and start treating our spaceship as if it were essential to our survival.....it is, you know!

Serpentinite is associated with asbestos. I wonder if non gem grade periodotite can be found and adinistered in a powderized form into CO2 rich ocean waters and what byproduct chemical effcts would be present?
