The introduction of filter feeding species could lead to a much greater energy capture for the entire system then by the sole utilization of macroscopic algae like kelp.

The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System can do this by bringing deep ocean water (DOW) into its lagoon. The water in the deep ocean contains the vast majority of decomposed bodies of all the things that ever lived on the land or in the sea. It is the perfect medium for plant growth, and were it not for the salt we could spray it directly onto our crop lands and expect phenomenal growth. Kelp makes an excellent fertilizer and has been used for many centuries and grows, like all marine plants, extremely quickly in the presence of DOW.
