One key part of our research programme is to establish the contribution of (cultivated) kelp forests to carbon sequestration. This involves analysing the natural process of kelp’s ability to absorb carbon and releasing the organic material sinking to the deeper ocean. When the organic material is stored in the deeper ocean, it is unlikely to […]
Interest in blue carbon has reached an all-time high, but high-quality projects remain scarce. The Blue Carbon Challenge on UpLink sourced innovative solutions, projects, and enabling tools that can harness the potential of blue carbon markets to support conservation, restoration, and coastal management for people, nature, and climate. The selected 12 UpLink Ocean Top Innovators […]
For Immediate Release Amsterdam, The Netherlands The Kelp Forest Foundation was awarded €50,000 from the Safe Seaweed Coalition to help assess the impact on biodiversity of giant kelp farming in offshore Namibia. Human activities are causing environmental degradation and reducing (biodiversity. Finding ways of restoring it has never been more urgent. Cultivated kelp forests could […]
