"Kelp forests cover some 2.8 million square miles, more area than the Amazon rain forest, and generate some $500 billion a year in value."

Happy #phycologyfriday ! (The real reason I joined bluesky π). Amid all the great algae in the #kelpforest, our newest additions, California morays, have taken to picking their favorite algae piles, and can be seen peeking out. Itβs a fun game spotting them every morning!

An old Patreon print reward inspired by the kelp forest in Monterey Bay. It was super fun to deviate from my usual fantasy art and do something like this c:

A digital collage of a seal swimming amongst waving strands of kelp, created using a variety of textures from weathered urban surfaces. The seal is mottled grey and brown from the texture of an old wall. It is surrounded by the vertical kelp leaves which are a mixture of different flaking paint and rusty surfaces, mainly in green, orange and yellow. The background through the kelp is blue.
Seal in Kelp collage - created from photographs of weathered urban surfaces.

Earlier this fall, I was awarded an Ocean Action Grant by Ocean Wise to set up a gametophyte culturing lab & collect spores from a potentially vulnerable population of Giant Kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) for long term bio-banking! #kelp #kelpforest #conservation #restoration #ocean

Earlier this month, BFK ushered in the winter with its first diving contract π€Ώ Using the @reeflifesurvey.bsky.social method, we collected biodiversity data for a client & their First Nation partner monitoring kelp / urchin barren dynamics, & also gathered urchin samples

Norway is trading traditional drilling for "green oil" made from giant seaweed farms! πΏ
They're turning slimy kelp into clean fuel to fight climate change.
From sea salad to super energy! π€―β½

Split shot with kelp below the waterline and forest above
Where #rainforest meets #kelpforest, something remarkable happens.
These two powerhouse ecosystems shape each other at the tide line: rainforests filter water and hold shorelines, while kelp buffers storms and brings nutrients back to land.
Healthy coasts depend on both.

More fall happenings in the kelp forest, a hooded #nudibranch (Melibe leonina) feeding aggregation. Have you ever had a chance to witness this in your local #KelpForest?

Another fun fact is that under ideal conditions, both giant and bull kelp can grow 10-12 inches per day!
