Restoration

The Kelp Forest Foundation initiates and sustains restoration projects across the globe. Forging partnerships with ocean advocacy groups, key players in coastal communities, and local policy makers, we act as a facilitator to help restoration projects launch and stay afloat.          

We utilise our expertise in science, fundraising, and capacity building to ensure kelp forests are responsibly restored to a flourishing state.

What is Restoration and Why Do We Need More of It?

Kelp forests are disappearing – fast. With climate change accelerating disruptive events like massive marine heat waves and biodiversity loss, kelp forests are struggling to keep up with the rapidly shifting environment around them. 

But, restoration is here to help. This process aims to recover damaged ecosystems back to full health through a myriad of different approaches like herbivore management, seeding and citizen science.
