Restoring Kelp Forests with Nanotechnology
Organization information
Reef Life Foundation
Location: Holladay, United States of America
Summary
Around the world, massive kelp forests are rapidly declining due to coastal development and erosion, warming waters, invasive species, poor water quality, pollution, and overfishing. Nova Scotia has lost 85-99% of their kelp forests over the past 4-6 decades, putting their fisheries and livelihoods in jeopardy. Reef Life Foundation is developing a new method for restoring kelp using nanotechnology artificial reefs with the ocean science company IntelliReefs CAN and Dalhousie University.
