## Caption

Photo by kiliiiyuyan | On shallow reefs, a multilayered kelp forest creates a habitat so rich it is sometimes referred to as a rainforest. This laminaria kelp forms a dense bottom layer while the tall, gas-filled bull kelp are tossed higher up. Another little-known fact? Kelp forests are one of the principal ways the ocean consumes carbon dioxide. Follow me kiliiiyuyan for more from cold-water magic. #underwater #pacificnw #kelpforest
