Carolina Olguín Jacobson on when the ocean heats up: what 15 years of community-led monitoring revealed about marine protected areas in kelp forest

In this week’s blog post we’re discussing tackling climate change through 15 years of community-led exploration of underwater kelp forests. Carolina Olguín Jacobson, author of “Recovery mode: Marine protected areas enhance resilience of invertebrate species from marine heatwaves”, shares insight into the effects of heatwaves on kelp-related species and how monitoring and conservation efforts like Sirenas de Natividad and the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of … Continue reading Carolina Olguín Jacobson on when the ocean heats up: what 15 years of community-led monitoring revealed about marine protected areas in kelp forest
