Throwing it back to our activation at @cetemares last week with #weareoneocean partners @regeneration.surf @mossy.earth @seaforester @oceansandflow @zerowastelab.pt! Through @wsl’s support of the Regeneration Surf coalition, we will assist ongoing impact in Peniche, not only scaling up the reforestation of kelp, but engaging the local community in the process.

We’re starting with restoring the forests of the ocean, because under the surface are some amazing habitats that provide multiple benefits for us, the ocean and the planet.

🏆 Kelp is an Ocean Champion! This macro-algae is the GOAT when it comes to winning multiple titles and setting the bar across the increasing challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and coastal erosion. It’s multi-disciplined talents support ocean processes, feed and shelter other species and provide many ecosystem services. Here’s our top three:

🥇 Kelp absorbs an estimated 20 times more carbon dioxide per acre than forests on land, making it a powerful force in mitigating the effects of climate change and locking away around 175 million tons of carbon every year.

🥈 Kelp habitats protect the shoreline - buffering against waves to help prevent coastal erosion, filtering pollutants from land and providing nurseries for precious, young sea life.

🥉 Kelp forests are considered one of earth's most productive ecosystems supporting a high diversity of plants, animals and other marine habitats.

WILDCARD🏅: For surfers, Kelp forest canopies, have an extra benefit of protecting us from the afternoon winds, refining ocean surface texture and grooming the swells to extend our surfing hours.
