It's Time to Enhance Kelp Along the CA Coast
- "Marine biologist Nancy Caruso has a plan to help giant kelp grow in the ocean waters off Orange County – again. Kelp, the ocean’s forest and critical to a healthy ecosystem, made a comeback after Caruso, with help from more than 2,000 Orange County students and volunteer divers, replanted areas from the Newport Jetty to Dana Point in 2009. After her project, there was more kelp along the section of coastline than there had been in 30 years... But, then from 2013 to 2017, a blob of warm water coupled with El Nino disrupted the kelp’s success and the forest started to die off again." - Excerpt from OC Register
