Help bring a kelp forest back. Then watch it from space.
Giant kelp can grow up to 2 feet a day. Watch the forest you fund return, season by season, through satellite imagery.

loss of Northern California’s bull kelp canopy in the years after 2014. Abalone died off, and a $44M recreational fishery closed.
How we're bringing kelp forests back
Kelp absorbs carbon as it grows. How much stays stored long-term is still an open question, so we don't sell carbon credits on it. Instead, we track restoration by reporting canopy cover, season by season.
Clearing
Our divers remove urchins from bare reefs.
Seeding
Young kelp is planted back on the rock.
Growing
The canopy returns, giving fish a place to come back to.
Measuring
We follow changes in kelp canopy using satellite imagery.
What we’ve restored
1,200 acres of kelp canopy across 4 sites, verified by satellite imagery each season. Illustrative figures for this concept.

How you can help
Watch your impact from space
Satellite imagery tracks acres of kelp canopy restoration.
A reef worth coming back to
We hire local crews to do the work, and restored kelp habitat supports marine ecosystems.
