Our mission is to protect and actively restore California’s kelp forests.
We petitioned the Fish and Game Commission to change allowable uses in Marine Protected Areas to include kelp restoration by harvesting sea urchins and planting kelp. Petition 2023-23MPA_ AM was presented and supported in public comments at the Regional Decadal Management meeting at the Elk's Lodge, in San Mateo on April 21, 2026 at 5:30 PM.
We need your help! The Department of Fish and Wildlife and organized fishing groups are opposed to our small grassroots funded non-profit. We need your continued support to achieve meaningful kelp restoration activities in Monterey. The only thing that will move the needle are concerned lovers of the ocean speaking up!
