Pioneering Ocean Restoration

By leveraging its expertise in verified, data-backed environmental impact, veritree is advancing scalable kelp restoration efforts that support marine biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Underwater Forests

Seaforestation is an emerging conservation strategy focused on the restoration and cultivation of underwater seagrass and kelp forests in marine environments. This approach aims to bolster marine ecosystems by planting and nurturing these underwater plants, which play a vital role in:

Water Quality

Marine Habitats

Ocean Health

The Benefits of Kelp Forests

Kelp restoration enhances ocean health by providing essential habitats for marine life and boosting biodiversity. Kelp forests help combat climate change while supporting cleaner, more resilient marine ecosystems.

Kelp can grow up to 1% of its total length in one day.¹

Kelp forests block over 90% of light to the seafloor, creating shaded habitats that boost biodiversity.^1,2
