"Restoration Station" — Fort Bragg resident and kelp forest restoration manager at The Nature Conservancy Tristin McHugh asseses the experimental growth of young bull kelps at the Albion Cove restoration reef in Mendocino County. Kelp forests the world over are struggling amid globally warming oceans and localized ecological calamities. Here on the North Coast, much work is being done to understand the best ways to promote kelp growth to support our coastal communities. August 2022 by Pat Webster @underwaterpat
