I did not think kelp forests in the Galapagos would be so interesting but this Short Wave episode was great!

"Why finding kelp in the Galapagos is like finding a polar bear in the Bahamas"

Scuba diving in the kelp forest in Funningsfjørður today. The Saccharina Latissima and Alaria Esculenta has grown very well since February and harvesting is ready. It will be cut now and will grow almost as much again before the second harvest in October

Tiny crab facing a large expanse. I had a brief moment before the next wave took it from view.

And some seaweed up close and personal.

has long been an important part of the diet and culture. The Samish Indian Nation's Department of Natural Resources dive team, formed in 2021, was created to gain a better understanding of the health of kelp forests, after elders noticed they weren't finding kelp fronds, which are traditionally used to wrap salmon.

Our underwater kelp forests are dying - And that’s not good news for the climate. vox.com/23698253/kelp-forests-

-> One effective solution - which is barely mentioned in the article - is to actively seed and grow kelp - like Ocean Rainforest is doing in the Faroe Islands and in Santa Barbara, California oceanrainforest.com

Just a fabulous article summing up the big picture current status of knowledge and research about forests.

Bonus @krumkir and @tombellkelp quotes, and me rhapsodizing on the beauty of diving in a forest.

Sure, forests are neat. But kelp forests? They are spectacular.

I wrote about what’s happening to these majestic, poorly known ecosystems.

Photos by the talented @jadlerphoto bring them to life.

Check out this new, interactive UNEP-WCMC website covering , , , and
🔗 unep.org/interactives/why-blue

Considering where are headed – both long term and particularly this year – the best time to act was 20 years ago, but the second-best time to act is now.

What are we as a global community going to do about it?

And is what we're doing right now (30% protections/restoration/etc.) enough?

Wow, I almost didn't get around to sharing today's drawing. Better late than never?

I was thinking about kelp while working on it this morning.
