Restoration Projects:

  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of liming on urchin control, and to test possible harmful side effects to other species.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The aim of this study was to test several hypotheses on mass culture dispersal and aid Macrocystis regeneration.
  • The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of liming on urchin control, and to test possible harmful side effects to other species.
  • Transplantation experiments were carried out to determine whether planting kelps in sandy bottomed sites would attract animals generally found on rocky reefs. Converting barren areas to kelp beds may also increase commercial productivity for sport and commercial fishermen.
  • The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of liming on urchin control, and to test possible harmful side effects to other species.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • Developmental reefs were designed to improve sport fishing and to provide substrate for the establishment of giant kelp and associated biotic communities.
  • Restoration was undertaken to restore a historical kelp bed.
  • The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of liming on urchin control, and to test possible harmful side effects to other species.
  • Restoration was undertaken to restore a historical kelp bed.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value.
  • The objective of restoration efforts was to restore lost Macrocystis forests and their associated biological and economic value. This site is near popular diving and recreational fishing sites, so kelp enhancement was also judged to potentially enhance these recreational activities.
