Project
San Diego
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of artificial plants on the density of 3 sea urchin species in sea urchin-dominated areas and the survival of adult giant kelp transplanted into sea urchin-dominated areas. The study evaluated whether artificial plants could be used for protection and restoration of giant kelp forests in southern California.
Project
La Herradura Bay
This study aimed to repopulate areas of the intertidal with Lessonia in order to increase production for commercial harvests and to improve restoration techniques.
Project
Point Loma
The study evaluated whether artificial plants could be used for protection and restoration of giant kelp forests in southern California.
Project
Punta Lagunillas
This study aimed to repopulate areas of the intertidal with Lessonia in order to increase production for commercial harvests and to improve restoration techniques.
