About the Organization:

To restore our planet to equilibrium, or even to abundance, we need to come together to find cost-effective, long term and environmentally sustainable solutions.

At Kelp Blue, we believe we’ve found one such solution: growing and managing large-scale Giant Kelp forests. These underwater forests safely lock away Co2 in the ocean forever.

More importantly, these giant kelp forests also help sustain healthy marine ecosystems, providing food and shelter for countless species.
