Underwater Rainforests: Seaforestation with Scott Bohachyk and James LaFlamme

Dive into the ocean’s rainforests and how to save them. This episode explores the science and hope behind seaforestation—the restoration of underwater kelp forests that sustain marine life, capture carbon, and protect our coasts. Joined by Scott Bohachyk of OceanWise and James LaFlamme of the Tseshaht First Nation, Clark uncovers how innovative science and Indigenous stewardship are teaming up to revive ecosystems once lost to warming seas and urchin barrens. From growing “baby kelp” to rebalancing ocean food webs, this episode reveals how kelp could be a key climate ally. Discover what’s being done, what’s at stake, and why restoring these underwater rainforests might just help heal the planet.
