# How Is My Kelp Planted?

We partner with **Coastal Kelp** to restore kelp forests in British Columbia, Canada, particularly in Indigenous territories like Hotham Sound and Powell River.

The kelp we plant consists of carefully cultivated Kelp Sporophytes (seeds) which are strategically planted using substrates such as line and green gravel. This process helps regenerate marine habitats, providing vital support for marine biodiversity.

By restoring kelp forests, we not only improve ocean health but also create employment opportunities for local communities, offering fair wages for planting and maintaining the kelp. Kelp forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 and supporting species such as Herring, Salmon, and Northern Abalone, making them a crucial part of the fight against climate change.
