You create your large algal blooms and then once the organism dies the carbon that was fixed into cellulose falls out to the bottom of the ocean to become part of oceanic soil essentially, this is of course if the organism was not consumed by a consumer. In addition to the carbon sequestration opportunities there is a supercharging of the food web with the blooms essentially by feeding zooplankton, copepods very specifically, and then they turbocharge other things such as salmonid populations. The biochar process just seems to take organic material and repurpose it into charcoal, what is the benefit of this in comparison to creating cellulose via photosynthesis coming from primary producers in the ocean.
