The Coast Range Association is a founding member of the brand new Oregon Ocean Alliance, which has formed to more effectively advocate for Oregon’s ocean and coast ecosystems. In a future episode, I’ll be talking with some of the other founding members about our mission and goals and all of that good stuff.
The reason I bring it up today is that one of our top ocean priorities is protecting and restoring Kelp forests. And no one in Oregon is doing more to help kelp than the Oregon Kelp Alliance.
The Oregon Kelp Alliance, also known as ORKA, recently launched a major new project called The Oregon Kelp Forest Protection and Restoration Initiative, aimed at protecting and restoring critical kelp forests off of Oregon’s Coast.
I’ve invited the director of ORKA, Tom Calvanese, to talk about the new initiative, the global Kelp Forest Challenge and all things kelp. Tom is a scientist, urchin diver, manager of the OSU field station in port orford, and an inspiring and passionate advocate for Oregon’s Marine ecosystems, and I am so excited to talk with him today.
