I was reading this article about a Haida First Nations group experimenting with geoengineering by dumping tonnes of iron into the Pacific Ocean in an effort to create a phytoplankton bloom which will theoretically help to filter carbon from the air and provide food for marine life.

Is anyone here familiar with these sorts of practices and willing to share their experience?
One thing I find curious from my own perspective is that the Haida people's mythology, most specifically the Kwakiutl, has many stories concerning the connection between metals and the ocean, usually copper, embodied by the persona of the Copper Woman who lives in a house made of copper at the bottom of the sea.
