Farm effluent and manure along with left over materials such as wasted feed, wood chips, rice hulls, fouled bedding materials and tree prunings are all materials that could be used to produce a compost and be recycled back on the farm.
What are the benefits of producing compost? Compost, if it is made correctly will allow you to:
handle, store, transport and spread organic by-products back to land
recycle high carbon low nitrogen materials back to the land, without tying up as much soil nitrogen while they are going through biological processes
produce a safe, stable soil amendment with slow release nutrients in organic forms

Some of that sediment goes back to the seafloor, but models show a lot drifts much further, smothering sea life, distant reefs and coral. This proposed seabed mine would be the first of its kind anywhere in the world. They simply don’t know the extent of the effect it would have on the ocean, whatever Mr Eggers may say.
