Invest in the Ocean

The ocean produces over half the oxygen we breathe. Regulates the earth’s temperature. And feeds 3 billion people. But it needs us to step up and invest in the incredible things it gives us.

Kelp forests are nature’s breath-makers, creating the very oxygen we depend on. They sequester an estimated 4.9-5.6 million tonnes of carbon globally, helping to slow the pace of climate change and stabilize marine ecosystems. Beyond combating climate change, kelp forests are lifelines to animals like sea otters, who rely on them as hunting grounds, shelter and to protect themselves and their pups from drifting in the tide.

Over the past 50 years, more than half of global kelp forests have vanished, decimated by climate change, pollution, and ecosystem imbalance. These underwater giants—foundational to sea otters and other marine life—are collapsing at an alarming rate.
