We have finally kicked off our kelp restoration trial! With this project we aim to test how well we can propagate golden kelp using the spore bag technique. The goal will be to use this technique together with others to start scaling up our impact on the ocean floor.

🌊 About this project:
Seaweeds are of immense value for marine ecosystems. Kelp, the largest of them all, form spectacular underwater forests that provide habitat for fish, clean the water and sequester carbon. Unfortunately, large swaths of these subaquatic forests have disappeared from the coast of many European countries. Although many factors appear to be contributing to this trend, there is still a lot we don’t know about the ecosystems engineered by seaweeds and this makes it difficult to carry out effective conservation and restoration work. We have partnered with SeaForester to make large scale restoration of seaweed forests along the coast of Portugal a reality.
