Abstract
Kelp forest populations in Southern California have been in decline since the 1950s. Since these ecosystems serve important functions for coastal management as well as ecological health of the surrounding marine life, this is a matter of importance. The purpose of this project is to determine if invasive kelp species are to blame for this decline, and if not, what is.
