For thousands of years, prolific Kelp Beds have spanned across the Northern California coastline, providing some of the most beautiful and biologically diverse and productive ecosystems on earth. Between 2014 and 2018, a series of prolonged environmental stressors and imbalances led to the loss of over 90% of kelp forests between San Francisco and Oregon. 

 

The Last Forests Project is a visual journey through the causes and effects of this ecosystem collapse, as well as the scientific and community efforts in place to help bring back our kelp forests. Our mission is to be the eyes and voice for the forests that we cannot see fall. We hope to inspire change in our coastal communities, and create a legacy of ocean activism.

 

Thank you to all who have donated to this project to help make it happen. This film is our gift to the community and our ocean, all future donations or profit will be directed back into kelp forest restoration.
