Kelp can help to fortify the environment amid warming temperatures.
Underwater forests could be the answer to helping to mitigate the environment from the impacts of climate change, experts told ABC News.
The efficiency at which kelp is able to pluck the greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere is one of the many reasons why it is increasingly being identified as a potential solution to climate change, the experts said. In addition, the growth requires no fertilizer or fresh water, making it nearly 100% sustainable.Often farmed next to oysters and mussels, kelp can be used for a multitude of purposes, including both food and cosmetic applications.
"Pollutants, septic runoff, lawns, fertilizers -- and that's nitrogen getting in the water, which is an explosive growth accelerant for the algae," Wicks said. Once the algal blooms spread, it "chokes the life out of the water" and can cause thousands of fish to wash up dead, she added.
