Knowledge Hub

This Knowledge Hub brings together useful documents and resources from across the global community who are working to protect and restore kelp forests. Here we provide some of our favorites in the hopes that they will help you in your work.

Within our KFA Publications, we have created a Kelp Restoration Guidebook which chronicles the lessons we've learned from kelp restoration projects undertaken around the world. Additionally our new Roadmap provides detailed strategy for how businesses, governments, communities, universities, content creators, and anyone else with an interest can help meet the Kelp Forest Challenge.
