The Kelp Forest Foundation addresses the gap in science around kelp forests and makes new knowledge publicly available, with the ultimate goal of harnessing the power of giant kelp to help restore the health of the planet. One of their current projects involves studying a robust kelp forest in Namibia to understand the ambient factors that determine growth, carbon sequestration, nutrient composition and water filtration capacity of the plants. Such data would not only contribute to the world’s understanding of this valuable species, but could eventually lead to the first ever offshore kelp cultivation methodology and certification standards for kelp-based blue carbon credits. This remarkable work would not be possible without marine-proof nutrient sensors that can withstand the exposure to the elements out in the ocean. Ocean Born Foundation is proud to provide the funds to purchase such a sensor and looks forward to learning about the results and implications of Kelp Forest Foundation’s research.
