Kelp Forest Restoration
The Kelp Forest Alliance has produced a global Guidebook for kelp restoration progress.
Despite a relatively long history in places like Japan, Korea, and California, the science and practice of kelp forest restoration is still in its infancy, and there remains a wealth of knowledge to be learned and shared from our collective failures and successes. To date, many projects have remained disconnected and had limited opportunities to share their experiences and learnings. The practice of kelp forest restoration will be greatly enhanced with collaborative, science-based efforts, where all stakeholders and custodians are engaged in decision-making and even short-term failures can yield insights that contribute to longer-term success.
