We’re crazy about kelp!

Later this week, we’ll dive into a region home to invaluable kelp ecosystems in the newest “A Sea of Hope” episode. But how do these flowing forests help our planet as a whole?

By absorbing and sequestering carbon, kelp forests help mitigate the impact of humanity’s increased atmospheric emissions. Additionally, kelp forests support water quality by removing nitrogen from the environment. It acts as a natural barrier from storms, and helps to prevent coastal erosion.
