Description
Aaron Eger, Ezequiel Marzinelli, Rodrigo Beas-Luna, and colleagues value the services that kelp forests give people worldwide, in Nature Communications in 2023. Kelp are large brown seaweeds that form underwater forests along cold and mild coasts. Travellers in the Americas relied on them for food twenty thousand years ago. Cultures in Asia and Europe have farmed, eaten, and used kelp for centuries since.
Today kelp forests shelter major fisheries and yield alginate, a thickener used in food and medicine. Countless species depend on them for habitat and food. By pricing and weighing these services together, the study makes kelp's worth visible to policy makers. Such accounting can steer protection toward forests that quietly support coastal economies.
