Schmidt Marine

On Oregon’s southern coast, far away from the Pacific Northwest’s booming metropolitan areas, the Oregon Kelp Alliance is working to solve a local environmental problem that has implications up and down the west coast and across the planet. Portions of bull kelp forests in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia are declining at alarming rates. And the effects could be felt all the way from the ocean to your dinner plate. If you care about outdoor recreation and the northwest's coastal economies, kelp forests need your help.
