Kelp Forests
Our ecosystem is a kelp forest. Kelp forests are one of the most diverse ecosystems underwater out of all the oceans. Living in a kelp forest would be quite interesting. Different kinds of algae grow in all the different kelp forests. Animals of all different shapes and sizes live in and around kelp forests. So if you did live in this ecosystem you would experience and see things you couldn't see any where else.
HabitatKelp forests are in colder water and grow a lot of plants. Since this area must grow a lot of plants to keep up the ecosystem it is required that a lot of light goes through the water. Animals can be found swimming in and out of the kelp as many of them are hiding from predators.
Human ImpactKelp forests are impacted by humans because things we put in the water can impact how the kelp grows. Runoff can actually become a factor.
