So when you're talking about kelp, like we're starting to talk now, what are the most important things that you want a listener to understand and appreciate about the uniqueness of the kelp and the kelp forest?

Ed ParnellGUEST
Kelp forests are unique in that they are dominated by their eponymous name, giant kelp, right? Giant kelp and bull kelp.

Ed ParnellGUEST
We're talking about bull kelp, which is pretty much prevalent here, and then giant kelp further south.

Ed ParnellGUEST
They overlap in some areas, but underneath that are those canopies that have, you know, the other laminaries that have a woody stipe.

Ed ParnellGUEST
But they also, together, all those species provide food for the animals that live within them.
