Seems like if we can manufacture the active chemical (bromoform) without seaweed, it'll be much more scalable.
Then there's also an even crazier idea: create a massive sea in the middle of Australia and use that for seaweed farming.

You'd have to engineer a digestible slow release halomethane source. Or just...grow it.
How hard can it be to scale seaweed farming?
Really hard, trust me. Coastal areas and sea platform tend to have a high level of occupation.
