Kelp bed prevents seawater temperature increases and promotes biodiversity through habitat provision.
Algal antioxidants prevent seawater acidification, and removing excess nutrients improves water quality.
Photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide, which is stored within the plants as organic carbon.
Economic benefits from utilizing seaweed as food, feed, fertilizer, and biofuel.
Promoting marine biodiversity contributes to local fisheries.
Kelp bed absorbs wave and ocean current energy, preventing coastal erosion and enhancing coastal protection.
Select sites with suitable nutrients and consistent seawater temperatures for kelp cultivation.
Raise mature kelp in secure locations before transplanting them to actual kelp beds.
In case mature kelp is scarce, install artificial structures planted with kelp seedlings in kelp beds for cultivation.

Kelp is consumed fresh or dried for use as seasoning and in various processed foods.
Kelp is also used as livestock feed and as a soil nutrient.
Biofuel is produced by crushing and liquefying kelp.
