Kelp is a hidden hero for both stormy waters and carbon capture, with the leaf-like “fronds” helping to put the brakes on looming waves, and protect coastlines from erosion. As dense forests below the waterline help to create a drag and reduce wave energy heading for the shore, kelp also absorbs a huge amount of carbon through photosynthesis, generating astounding growth of up to two feet a day as a byproduct! 💚📏
