Giant kelp forests provide everything animals need: food, shelter, protection from enemies, and places to raise young.

From their leaflike blades bobbing on the ocean’s sunny surface to their rootlike holdfasts on the dark seafloor, giant kelp supply space for animals with many different needs.

Changes in temperature, food supply, light level, and plant cover create unique nooks and crannies that shelter more than 750 species of animals. You will meet some of them in this Voyager.
