Happy #InternationalDayofForests! 🌿 Beyond their vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide, kelp forests are home to some of the ocean’s most unique creatures. From sea otters to weedy seadragons, these towering underwater forests shelter marine life around the world. 🦦🐠🦭 Our on-the-water expeditions have taken us to kelp forests from California to Chile to learn more about the incredible biodiversity here and inform measures needed to protect these exceptional areas. What’s your favorite kelp creature? 💙 🎥: Sea otter video: Hanna Tor
