Kelp aren’t plants...

They’re algae.

When most people hear “algae,” they think of microscopic phytoplankton… not giant underwater forests.

But seaweeds, including kelp, are all multi-cellular algae!

By the way, underwater kelp forests play a critical role in coastal ecosystems.

We’re working on the west coast of British Columbia to restore kelp forests and bring that habitat back.

Follow along to see how we do it! :D

This might look like sci-fi, but it’s real science. Our state-of-the-art bioreactors create perfectly controlled conditions to grow kelp at scale.

This is how we turn precision cultivation into real-world ocean restoration.

Every kelp restoration or farming project has different goals, sites, and conditions. That means the right kelp species matters.

At West Coast Kelp, our nursery is set up to grow multiple native kelp species, from canopy-forming kelps to understory species. We tailor what we grow based on the needs of each project, whether that’s habitat restoration, research, or cultivation.

Having the ability to propagate different species allows us to support more effective, site-appropriate kelp forests and deliver better outcomes in the ocean.

Which kelp species are you most familiar with?

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what we’ve been building together.

From our nursery to ocean outplants, and through new partnerships across the coast, we made real progress in reinforcing coastal habitats.

Our 2025 impact report highlights some of what we accomplished this year.

Grateful for the partners and communities who made this work possible. We’re just getting started.
