The World's Most Important Underwater Forest Is Disappearing... Here's Why
For thousands of years, the vast kelp forests of the Puget Sound have supported an incredible marine ecosystem. They are a foundational species that feed countless animals and serve as one of the planet's most productive carbon fixers. However, a serious problem is happening right under the surface. In recent years, these underwater forests have been disappearing at an alarming rate, with some areas losing a devastating 80% of their beds. This documentary explores why this is happening and what a dedicated group of scientists, government agencies, and Indigenous communities are doing to fight back.
