This 2-year funding would help us keep the momentum going and bring more people from our local community into restoring our kelp forests.

We would use the funding to:

• Organize shuttles to the diving club for the volunteers before and after each event

• Buy diving suits for the volunteers

• Pay for snacks and drinks for the volunteers at each event

• Hire a marine biologist part-time to develop our Biodiversity Workshop

• Produce a species identification handbook that the volunteers can use during the events

• Hire a professional underwater photographer once in a while to document the changes in the sea

• Buy an underwater drone to show the sea to the volunteers who are not diving

• Keep develop the Urchin Density Challenge to expand our reach

• Better communicate our results with the public
