Restoration Objective:

The aim of this study was to Answering Scientific Questions, Improving Methodologies and enhance biodiversity.

Cause Of Decline:

The barren ground covers an average of 36.4% of rock surfaces on the Korean coasts, with the highest (51.2%) in the East Sea. The causes of this destruction of kelp forests differ between regions, ranging from overgrazing sea urchins and sedimentation to climate change.

Site Observations:

Observation Date

1st Oct 2017 – 1st Sep 2019

Action Summary:

Urchins were removed from sites, and E. bicyclis plants were transplanted with ropes. Urchin removals also included sea hare and gastropod removal.

Lessons Learned:

Kelp showed dramatic increases (especially in Sargassum species) then diversity increased later.

Project Outcomes:

Kelp showed dramatic increases (especially in Sargassum species) then diversity increased later.
