The Kelp Restoration Network

Restoring California's kelp forests is bigger than any one organization. It takes scientists, divers, nonprofits, Tribes, agencies, commercial fishermen, volunteers, and local communities all working together. We're proud to collaborate with organizations across the state who each play an important role in helping our underwater forests recover.
