Kelp forests are home to hundreds of marine species, protect the coast from erosion, and remove tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making them critical in the fight against climate change. According to SeaTrees, a non-profit organization that helps restore coastal ecosystems, California has lost 90% of its kelp forests. Research at Scripps Institute of Oceanography may help open doors for kelp forests to be incorporated into the carbon market, providing important funds for their restoration.
