  2. Marine coastal ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_coastal_ecosystem

    Kelp forests provide important habitats for many fish species, sea otters and sea urchins. Directly and indirectly, marine coastal ecosystems provide vast arrays of ecosystem services for humans, such as cycling nutrients and elements, and purifying water by filtering pollutants. They sequester carbon as a cushion against climate change.

  3. Kelp forest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelp_forest

    The importance of this contribution has been rapidly acknowledged within the scientific community and has prompted an entirely new trajectory of kelp forest research, highlighting the potential for kelp forests to provide marine organisms spatial refuge under climate change and providing possible explanations for evolutionary patterns of kelps ...

  4. Seaweed farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed_farming

    Seaweed farming is a carbon negative crop, with a high potential for climate change mitigation. [8] [9] The IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate recommends "further research attention" as a mitigation tactic. [10] World Wildlife Fund, Oceans 2050, and The Nature Conservancy publicly support expanded seaweed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelopa_frigida

    The fly oviposits in dead kelp that washes up on beaches. [8] This is the only place it lays eggs, and it can do so on many species of kelp and seaweed, [9] including species of Laminaria and Fucus. [10] A female fly lays up to five clutches of 80 eggs each. [11] The larvae feed upon the bacteria coating the dead kelp. [9] The life cycle is ...

  8. Kina (animal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kina_(animal)

    Kina populations throughout New Zealand have dramatically grown due to the effects of overfishing and climate change, resulting in over-grazing that significantly damages kelp forest ecosystems. Kina are now being actively removed from many ecosystems for marine conservation efforts.
