Kelp restoration sometimes looks like this 🔨
While our education and data collection work is very ‘straight edge’ and ‘to the books,’ we don’t mess around when it comes to restoration 💪
Part of our studies on kelp forest disappearance have shown that the overpopulation of purple sea urchins is the most likely culprit. Since their natural predators have decreased substantially, we are studying the effects of human intervention.

Let’s hear it for the Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI)!
This groundbreaking three-year project will explore various approaches to facilitate the recovery of Giant Kelp, which was devastated by a 2014 marine heatwave. Efforts include removing invasive algae, reintroducing kelp, and integrating restoration into CIMI’s educational programs.
🌱Reef Check is proud to sit on the science advisory panel for their Kelp Restoration study. Join us in supporting this vital initiative!
