Kelp: Hidden Treasure of the Salish Sea | Changing Seas

The kelp forests of the Puget Sound have long played an essential role in the local ecosystem as a habitat and food source. Today, this foundational species is in decline, but resource managers, scientists, tribal citizens, and advocates are working together to solve the mysteries of conserving and restoring kelp forests.

It would be interesting to have a scientific study on the effects that volcanic activity, stream, earthquakes, tsunamis and lava have on kelp forests.
