Despite their immense ecological, economic and social value, kelp forests are understudied and poorly understood. At the Kelp Forest Foundation, we bridge this knowledge gap, unlocking kelp’s potential as a powerful solution to global issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
Let us show you how in our video.
We work with scientists, coastal communities, and industry players to support the responsible expansion of kelp, both cultivated and wild. We do this through our key focus areas:
Establishing research programs and mentorship with universities to improve monitoring and evaluation systems of kelp forests’ ecological benefits.
Fostering new generations of ocean stewards and scientists by facilitating ocean-focused education programs, professional development opportunities, and safety courses to youth and students.
Since 2021, our programme has achieved the following impact:
You can help us restore the health of our planet. Your donation, whether it’s a drop or an ocean, will help us take steps towards ocean regeneration using kelp.
