Kelp, Complexity & Climate Change
<p>The complexity which exists in kelp forest systems is present in nearly every element of their existence; structurally these near-<strong><em>fractal</em></strong> <strong><em>systems</em></strong> <em>(an infinitely complex & repeatable pattern)</em> are made of intricate and scalable combinations of a wide variety of seaweeds and sea-life. Ecologically these systems are integral to the health of the oceans, providing diverse habitat and feeding for sea life of all sizes prompting Charles Darwin to say “I do not believe nearly so many species of animals would perish as would from the destruction of the kelp.”</p>
<p>Kelp forests are exceptional at sequestering carbon, providing diverse and rich habitat, protecting coastlines and mitigating the effects of climate change all while contributing to both local and wider societies.</p>
