So why should we save the kelp forests. Well they are able to convert a ton of CO2 to oxygen. enough that it is equivalent to around 300 million dollars on the UK carbon exchange. Well then why aren't we saving it. Well because every single person wants to have power and a car to drive literally everywhere. As well we love some otter skin boots or jackets. Well for this we can't get anymore as the hunting of otters is illegal. However fishers want them gone as they compete with the fishers for the fish. When in reality if we destroy the habitat we will lose a huge diversity of fish that live there as a safe place. Some of these fish are endangered.
