Kelp forests are collapsing worldwide — eaten alive by exploding urchin populations. We're restoring balance, one reef at a time.
A single kelp forest supports hundreds of species — fish, invertebrates, marine mammals. Lose the kelp, lose the ecosystem.
Kelp absorbs CO₂ up to 20x faster than land forests per hectare, locking carbon into the deep ocean floor.
Dense kelp canopies reduce wave energy, protecting coastlines from erosion and buffering storm surge.
Ocean warming and urchin barrens have wiped out over 90% of kelp in some regions. The forests that remain are fighting to survive.
Like weeding a garden — sometimes you plant, sometimes you restore balance. Both heal the reef.
Sponsor a kelp plant deployed on a reef structure. It will grow up to 30m tall, absorb CO₂, and shelter hundreds of species.
Fund urchin removal to rebalance a kelp zone. Remove the urchins, and the kelp comes back on its own — no planting needed.
Every dollar goes directly to reef restoration through our verified partners.
