Kelp forests—the ocean's lungs—are rapidly disappearing due to climate stress, habitat degradation, and the absence of effective restoration methods, threatening marine biodiversity and community livelihoods.

SeaForest Collective empowers coastal communities by equipping local marine cultivators with Ebbing Tides’ precision kelp-farming techniques, accessible direct-seeding technology, and tailored training programs. By decentralizing restoration efforts, we enable these communities to take ownership of regenerating vibrant kelp forests—reviving marine biodiversity, enhancing coastal resilience, and building sustainable ocean-based livelihoods. This approach not only restores ecosystems, but also fosters local pride, knowledge exchange, and long-term stewardship of the sea.
