This #IntlForestDay lets celebrate the amazing #kelpforests here in the #falklands.They are vital marine ecosystems: providing habitat & food for marine species & they support the seabed, prevent erosion & absorb carbon,contributing to ocean-based climate action

Amy’s advice:

���Try get involved as much and as early as you can! Like volunteering for science or conservation organisations in your spare time, reading a science magazine of your choice, or tuning in to online talks”

[Amy Guest @AmyG_FI]

You can't help but smile watching these guys! 😍

Ahead of #WorldOceansDay 🌊tomorrow, let’s admire the #FalklandIslands stunning marine biodiversity that thrives amongst the giant #kelpforests & holdfasts, including beautiful pink coralline algae, starfish and anemones. Our Kelp is also important for #BlueCarbon sequestration.
