Kelp is Our Friend

"Local surfers appreciate the kelp forest’s ability to smooth the chop off the water when the wind blows on-shore. For many of us, kelp is mostly the odorous stuff that washes up on the beach after a storm. Even this dead kelp has value as it decomposes to provide nutrients for invertebrates living in the sand." - excerpt from article in The Coast News.
