I'll defer to another commenter about the challenge of doing this without generating more carbon to generate the required power.
Also, plants don't, "Convert Carbon into Oxygen", they separate the Oxygen from the Carbon and release it.
FWIW the Ocean processes like 3-4x as much carbon as the rainforest. It is of concern that the rainforest is losing its' capacity to, but perhaps it has been overloaded as dead spots in the ocean expand.
Sylvia Earle's project, "Mission Blue", is trying to help the ocean regenerate by fighting overfishing and other practices. There's a great film on Netflix by this name that includes a lot of dive footage from decades ago, and from present day.
> He introduces a cuisine of naturality, which revolves around three elements: fish, cereals and vegetables.
More cereals, vegetables, fruits, less fat, sugar, salt and animal proteins sounds great. Not sure about fish. I encourage everyone to watch Mission Blue (it's on netflix), a documentary about what overfishing is doing. Oceanographer Sylvia Earle who's perhaps the most knowledgeable person about large water bodies suggests we pretty much cut it out.
