Unlocking the power of kelp

Together we can restore the health of our planet

Kelp forests are magical underwater habitats, known
to be one of the most productive natural ecosystems on the planet.

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.

The value of kelp

65 meters is the tallest kelp individual ever recorded
Kelp forests are found along 25% of the world's coastlines

Kelp supports new ways of restoring balance to the ocean and land. ​

Let us show you how in our video.

What we do

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:

Science

Establishing research programs and mentorship with universities to improve monitoring and evaluation systems of kelp forests’ ecological benefits.

OCEAN SKILLS

Fostering new generations of ocean stewards and scientists by facilitating ocean-focused education programs, professional development opportunities, and safety courses to youth and students.
