Kelp forests have the power to protect marine life, absorb carbon, and reverse climate change – so why aren’t they getting the funding they deserve?

“Kelp Currency,” a short film ft. Professor Jennifer Smith and Postdoctoral Researcher Laís Lima, explores the Seatrees Kelp Carbon Science Project. This groundbreaking research aims to quantify the carbon benefits of wild kelp forests and develop a methodology that could unlock financial support for large-scale kelp restoration around the world.

As climate change accelerates the loss of these vital ecosystems, this research is critical in proving that kelp forests are a key solution for a healthier planet. With up to 90% of California’s kelp forests lost in some areas, now is the time to invest in science that could help regenerate them.
