January 13th 6-7p PST: Kelp Communities across Puget Sound Basins- Register Here
Reef Check kelp forest monitoring expanded into Washington in 2022. Analysis from these first years of surveys show distinct regional kelp forest communities of fish, invertebrate and kelps within sub-basins of Puget Sound. Join us for an evening of exploring the data and analysis of your survey efforts.
February 11th 6-7p PST: Community Based Restoration- Register Here
In response to widespread kelp bed loss to urchin barrens following the Marine Heat Wave in 2014, Reef Check introduced restoration efforts. The goal was to test if a reduction in herbivores (urchins) will facilitate kelp re-growth at several locations in central and northern California. Join us to learn about how these strategies have affected the kelp beds at two sites in California: Tankers Reef, Monterey and Casper Reef, Mendocino County.
March 10th 6-7p PST: Oregon Restoration- Register Here
For the 2025 season Reef Check Oregon partnered with Oregon Kelp Alliance to implement restoration efforts and survey protocols. Learn about this partnership and how these efforts are helping restore the kelp beds along the Oregon Coast.
April 7th 6-7p PST: California Fish and the Marine Heat Wave- Register Here
The Marine Heat Wave from 2014-16 had large scale impacts on kelp beds along the California coast. Take a deep dive into the 20-year Reef Check data set showing how fish assemblages changed from before to after the marine heat wave.
