I thought I was going to Scuba Dive in a Giant Kelp Forest : I was wrong. There is hardly any giant kelp left.. Thank you thank you thank you for your patience with the upload of this video!! I worked so hard on it to try and showcase how important the Giant Kelp forest is to our oceans, Tasmania, and the whole world. We need to help protect it.
Katt, again a wonderful video. It's just sad, I believe if more would love diving like you, they would take much more care, it's just a guess, but if they would know how beautiful it is, they would realize it's even much more worth to protect it. 👍
@@OceanPancake Katt, did you thought about something like Diving and education? It doesn't need to be deep, but maybe more then just a crash course. To support your account and your project, you could sell something like a booklet with some science, you may know the fish or shark intentification booklets. What do you think about?
Hey, I'm heading to Tassie in a few weeks to start my Masters with UTAS and IMAS. There's a lot of people working very hard on this. It's devastating, but people much smarter than me have already begun the work, and people like us are working hard to pass on the information and keep the work going. We can fix things and I intend to keep doing so. Keep up this incredible advocacy work :)
Thanks so much! Yeah I spoke to some scientists on the West Coast of the USA and they mentioned it wasn't that bad there yet? Either way it's so scary :(
Great video! The GSR receives so little attention compared to its northern sibling, yet each are absolutely vital ecosystems with their own beauty and wonder. The urchin barrens in Port Phillip Bay are also quite devastating to see. Now you're a temperate water diver you'll have to come and visit us down in Melbourne.
I would love (and hate) to see the sea urchin Barron's. Yeah! Great Southern Reef only gets 2% of the funding while it brings 10 million dollars in compared to the GBR
@@OceanPancakedo you have your own scuba gear like wetsuit and dive gloves and dive hood and dive boots and dive fins and dive mask and scuba tank and bcd and regulator to breath from and breath underwater with scuba regulator who is your dive buddy for scuba diving and how long did it take you to do your scuba training and how does it feel to breath underwater with scuba regulator for cold water diving

I sat in on a presentation about this last year from Cayne Layton, it sounded like they were having some early success with certain species
The outplanting worked very well@@riderdiver1 they were happy to see the success of the planting
Katt, again a wonderful video.

That's why I try and get more people underwater. To see the value and beauty of the submarine ecosystems

Amazing work! So exciting to hear you got this new opportunity. Thank you for being part of the solution
Sad to see but thanks for the video. Keep educating and advocating.
I'm just hoping we can keep highlighting these issues and support the solutions. Part two will be out on Wednesday!!
@@OceanPancake I’ll watch for it. 😀. Similar kelp forest decline off the west coast of the US… warming water and purple sea urchin explosion.
@@SpoilingCitrussea urchins really do like the giant kelp snacks!
Me encantan tus vídeos me encantan tus vídeos realmente impresionantes y muy interesantes super bonitos ❤
Interesting - thank you for sharing!
It's a shame you didn't get to dive in one of the few healthy patches of kelp forest. They're absolutely stunning!
Awesome video! Sorry to see Australia is experiencing the same issues as the west coast of the US. Glad you’re sharing about it👏💙
Thanks so much! Yeah I spoke to some scientists on the West Coast of the USA and they mentioned it wasn't that bad there yet? Either way it's so scary :(
@@OceanPancake It depends on the area. Some have been impacted greatly, but other parts of the kelp forest are doing ok. And yes, very scary.

So sad, great work on education! Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I hope you learned something interesting :)
wow i love the colour of your wetsuit! It must've been pretty cold down there i guess. Always a dream to scuba dive one day!
It was so beautiful. The wetsuit was very comfortable!
@@OceanPancake wow that's great! It always a dream for me to go scuba diving😍🤿. What's the thickness of your wetsuit?
Nice video, I had no idea
Thank you for taking the time to check it out! Such an important message we need to high light
Great experience...very sad too...
I cannot believe I had no idea this is how serious the situation was!
Omg this broke my heart as an Aussie. We need to do better 😢
We do :(
Are you a cold water diver
Usually tropical water!
@@OceanPancakedo you have your own scuba gear like wetsuit and dive gloves and dive hood and dive boots and dive fins and dive mask and scuba tank and bcd and regulator to breath from and breath underwater with scuba regulator who is your dive buddy for scuba diving and how long did it take you to do your scuba training and how does it feel to breath underwater with scuba regulator for cold water diving
