Invest in the Ocean - Help Restore Kelp Forests Before It's Too Late
25-30%
of the world's coastlines are protected by kelp forests, which act as natural buffers against coastal erosion from strong waves
Thousands
of species rely on kelp for food, shelter, and breeding grounds, from tiny invertebrates to marine mammals
Over 50%
of kelp forests have declined in the past 50 years primarily due to climate change and ecosystem imbalances
Our ocean produces over half the air we breathe, regulates the Earth's temperature, and feeds three billion people. But it's in crisis!
Kelp forests are vital to our ocean and the marine life that call it home. These beautiful ribbons of algae absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen, helping slow global warming and ocean acidification while supporting thousands of species like sea otters. But over the past 50 years, more than half of global kelp forests have vanished—decimated by climate change, pollution, and ecosystem imbalances.
When kelp disappears, so does our ocean’s ability to buffer climate change, leading to a devastating ripple effect.
The good news? You have the power to restore kelp forests.
Your gift this holiday season will help protect sea otter habitats and support one of our ocean’s best defenses against climate change. And thanks to our matching donor, every donation made before midnight on December 31 will have double the impact on ocean health.
