Sørsjetéen: restore a kelp forest along the jetty!
Sat 19 Sept
|Sørsjetéen
Together, we brought kelp along Sørsjetéen, since the first dives in 2023. This site is now rich in life and colors! We are diving today to maintain urchin density low, replacing natural predators. You can contribute from land or in the sea. Free waffles & hot drinks offered to the volunteers.
