Can We Save Kelp Forests? Ocean Wise and Kelp Forest Alliance Unveil Comprehensive Kelp Monitoring Guide
Ocean Wise and the Kelp Forest Alliance have released a new guidebook for monitoring kelp forest ecosystems. This guide aims to standardize how kelp forests are assessed for biodiversity, health, and ecosystem benefits. Kelp forests are crucial for marine life and combatting climate change, but they have been declining. The guide will help conservationists measure the value of kelp restoration efforts and enable better global collaboration on these projects. Accurate monitoring helps to ensure these underwater forests receive the protection they desperately need.
