A validated method for reinforcing Arctic sea ice with macroalgae-based rebar

Combining active Arctic sea-ice pumping with a pre-rinsed, desalted macroalgae gel matrix to 3D-print high-tensile, multi-layered "rebar" ice is a compelling open-source proposal from Stuart Peacock. This validated method targets the brittleness that plagues conventional pumped ice, using seaweed's alginic acid and cellulose to absorb bending stress from ocean swells. The laminated composite resists flexural forces and summer melt.
