For juvenile greenbone, the kelp forest is both a nursery and a food source but Kelp forests do more than just house and feed marine species. Like any plants and algae, they draw in carbon dioxide and may therefore play an important role in combating ocean acidification and climate change. They also buffer the coast from wave action, helping to prevent erosion.
