Kelp Forest Restoration Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 (Year 4)
The purpose of this project is to reduce the density of purple sea urchins to two per square meter within the boundaries of sea urchin barrens off the Palos Verdes Peninsula. This will allow for the recruitment and development of giant kelp and other species of macroalgae. This project will reduce sea urchin grazing pressure… Continue reading Kelp Forest Restoration Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 (Year 4)
Southern California Green Abalone and Kelp Forest Restoration Project: January 1, 2012 – September 30, 2015
(Abstract) The Southern California Green Abalone and Kelp Forest Restoration Project aims to restore populations of green abalone (Haliotis fulgens), a federal species of concern, to Southern California where they were once plentiful and supported a thriving commercial fishing industry. This pilot project explored methods of spawning, rearing, and outplanting green abalone, investigated the genetic… Continue reading Southern California Green Abalone and Kelp Forest Restoration Project: January 1, 2012 – September 30, 2015

Kelp Forest Habitat Restoration Has The Potential To Increase Sea Urchin Gonad Biomass
(Abstract) When taking an ecosystem-based approach to marine resource management, managers may be able to implement a combination of management tools in order to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of implementing any one in isolation, while providing greater overall ecological benefits. The harvest of Strongylocentrotus franciscanus (red sea urchin) for their gonads is one of the… Continue reading Kelp Forest Habitat Restoration Has The Potential To Increase Sea Urchin Gonad Biomass
