Kelp Forest Foundation giant kelp spore bank
-
The Kelp Forest Foundation (https://kelpforestfoundation.org/) is working to create a global spore bank of Macrocystis pyrifera/ giant kelp spores and is starting by collecting information on current spore banks. The information will be compiled into an interactive map to be shared online. If you have or know anyone who has a giant kelp spore bank please reach out! This is an open project with the goal of furthering research, conservation, and restoration and supporting kelp farmers.
Looking forward to being a part of the community,
