Underwater Rainforests: Kelp Forests and Seaforestation

Underwater Rainforests: Kelp Forests and Seaforestation

Kelp forests support wildlife, coastlines, and culture. Scott Bohachyk of Ocean Wise and James LaFlamme of the Tseshaht First Nation discuss kelp forest restoration on Vancouver Island. Learn how seaforestation supports biodiversity, buffers shorelines, and participates in carbon cycling, as well as why Indigenous stewardship shapes where and how restoration happens. The episode treats kelp as an ecosystem and a relationship, not a simple climate technology.
