Invasive Kelp Monitoring
Help Baykeeper stop the spread of invasive kelp!

The Asian kelp Undaria has invaded marinas in the San Francisco Bay. Not only is it a nuisance, its presence in the Bay – a hub of recreational and commercial boat traffic – threatens other coastal areas, including offshore native kelp forests.

Baykeeper is partnering with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center to coordinate volunteers to monitor local docks and marinas for the presence of Undaria and to gather data that will guide removal efforts.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Baykeeper Field Coordinator Rosalind Becker at rosalind@baykeeper.org or 415-856-0444 x 104.
