Recently, the temperature of seawater is increasing due to environmental pollution, followed by an increase in the number of herbivores. The reduces algae in the bedrock areas, leading to sea desertification. This situation leads to a decrease in algae in the rocky areas and sea desertification. One of the solutions for healing sea desertification is undertaking marine forest development. However, this method does not result in sustainable growth, as young algae are eaten by direct exposure to herbivores. In this study, as a solution to the problems mentioned above, the growth behavior of microalgae was studied while immobilizing the microalgae in a hydrogel. Two hydrogels were attached to each other through interfacial bonding, and the degree of interfacial bonding between hydrogels was evaluated by measuring peeling energy. This hydrogel system is expected to be a useful material for preventing sea desertification.
