Kelp forests are some of the most powerful ecosystems on the planet - providing habitat for marine life, protecting coastlines, and potentially capturing carbon to help fight climate change. But to unlock critical funding for kelp restoration, we need to prove their carbon sequestration potential.
Seatrees, in collaboration with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is leading groundbreaking research to measure the carbon captured by wild kelp forests. This study will pave the way for kelp to be included in global carbon markets - turning restoration into a viable climate solution.
Why This Matters
- Kelp forests are disappearing: Some areas in California have lost up to 90% due to climate change.
- Science is the missing link: Without data, kelp can’t access the funding it deserves.
- You can help: $1 million is needed to scale this research and unlock solutions for global kelp restoration.
Your support will fund the science that proves kelp’s role in reversing climate change. Donate today to power this critical research and help restore our ocean’s forests.
