Globally, over 40 percent of kelp forests have declined over the past five decades as a result of climate change, overexploitation, and pollution. Kelp forests support biodiversity, coastal fisheries and livelihoods, and have the potential as a significant carbon sink. In British Columbia, kelp forests also provide important habitat for commercially and culturally valuable species such as herring, salmon and rockfish, as well as endangered northern abalone, in addition to being central to the traditions and well-being of Indigenous coastal communities.
