Kelp forests

Kelp forests are important habitats which have been lost over time in coastal waters. Kelp forests provide habitat for fish, protect coastlines from erosion and trap carbon dioxide from the ocean. They grow fast and absorb large amounts of carbon. Restoring kelp forests is a strategy to address climate change and enrich ocean livestock.

'''Ecosystems within kelp forests are abundant and provide necessary habitats and food sources to species. The high rate of diminishing kelp forests is cause for concern to the role it plays in climate change mitigation as the contribution it makes to reverse acidification. Aspects such as overfishing, water pollution, water temperature shifts, and sediment build up are likely contributors to this decline. There have been some efforts in restoration to these forests by coming to conclusions of the causes by the SeaForester initiative. SeaForester plans to replant seaweed on land and then replanting them in the ocean in a low-cost effort. '''
