Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Greater Farallones Association will be awarded $4,925,173 to restore bull kelp at four locations along the Northern Sonoma County coastline in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
The project will restore approximately 50 acres of kelp forest habitat by removing purple sea urchins and outplanting bull kelp.
In 2014-2016, more than 90 percent of bull kelp forest habitat in Northern California was lost due to repeated warm water events. Bull kelp is a foundational species in the ecosystem, and its decline has cascading effects on recreational and commercial fisheries.
Restoring this habitat will directly benefit the greater ecosystem within the sanctuary and along the Northern California coast.
