Help restore kelp forests�one of the ocean's most important ecosystems. Kelp forests provide shelter and food for fish, sea otters, and countless other marine species, while also improving water quality and storing carbon. When kelp forests decline, biodiversity and coastal resilience can suffer. This Dots.eco gift supports restoration work that helps bring kelp ecosystems back, strengthening marine habitats and supporting a healthier ocean.

Kelp forests are vital for climate resilience and ecosystem health. They absorb carbon dioxide, act as natural carbon sinks, and support marine biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem stability. By buffering ocean acidification and reducing coastal erosion, they protect shorelines and marine life. These forests also serve as critical habitats for numerous species and contribute to global carbon cycles. Their preservation and restoration are essential to combating climate change, sustaining biodiversity, and protecting coastal environments. We partner with trusted entities like Veritree to restore kelp forests that have been damaged or degraded. Our partners attach juvenile kelp to long lines, transplant them and fix them in the field, then care and monitor their development to ensure recovery of the local kelp beds.
