A new project is underway to restore #kelp #forests in the #Santa #Barbara #Channel -- by removing sea urchins and selling them to restaurants or turning them into agricultural products.

“It’s really been decades in the making,” said Kim Selkoe, executive director of Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara,
co-founder of Get Hooked Seafood, and research scientist at UCSB.

“It’s really been the commercial sea urchin diving community that has noticed so much kelp decline out of the Channel Islands.”

Selkoe said that there used to be a vibrant kelp forest on the backside of San Miguel Island,
but starting in the 1980s warmer waters from El Niño storms caused the kelp to die off.
Purple urchins then started taking over and feeding on the remaining kelp.

“We’ve gone from like this rich three-dimensional forest filled with fish and snails and invertebrates and other algae, down to this carpeted urchin where nothing can grow;
and as soon as the little spores land and start to try to grow again, they just mow them down,” Selkoe said.

However, when urchins are removed, kelp is able to grow back fairly easily, according to Selkoe

Noozhawk · Kelp Restoration Project to Begin in Santa Barbara this SpringBy Rebecca Caraway, Noozhawk Staff Writer

This July, I will be Fifty Years Old. I don’t really feel much past somewhere in my mid 30’s still, but it kind of hits me as I reflect and gaze into my recollections. Just how much story I have lived so far. How much is yet to come.

I do not fear my eventual death. I used to, but then I started my #lightworker journey, and my understanding of it all has radically changed. There is more I have to do in this lifetime. I chuckle at my first #channel: “You are not to ask how.” And so I do not.

I've started my youtube channel in 2024. I share Roblox gameplays with community.

This year, I'm trying to make connections with small youtube channels and to interact, in order to give support, subs and opportunities to appear in my videos, and have fun.

Interested? Let me know by telling me ! Also, please sub to my channel, I would appreciate very much since it would help me a lot ❤

As I sit and knit, allowing my body to heal, have been popping on podcasts in background. Stumbled on this one, interesting stuff here (aside from how you feel about psychics). Here's one of many gems...

"You have to look after yourself. And not because your soothing yourself, or escaping or putting your head in the sand... Self care is vital for strength and for purpose." @ 4:27
