Subject: [cinc] Re: Kelp forest monitoring webinar
Thanks Judy, And Other Kelp Fans!
Where was that presentation? Gosh, it would fit right in with the Webinar
presented by the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary yesterday eve on line!
In fact, I had Tara ask in the after program survey if the MBNMS had
coo-ordinated or was aware of any comparable and ongoing kelp research in our
CI National Marine Sanctuary? David Kushner is our CINP foremost experts on
kelp research, so I should have asked my question in relation to our CINP I
guess? Following is a copy of yesterday’s webinar info from the Monterey Bay
NMS. In two weeks they will have recordings available. The new research
presented negates the idea that fattening purple sea urchins barrens to make
them consumable and marketable to humans is unlikely. Their research indicates
purple urchins become aggressive, and leave their preferred crevices because
they are starving due to other environmental abnormalities.

Hi everyone, I just watched a great talk by David Kushner from Channel Islands
National Park about Kelp Forest Monitoring in the Park since 1982. It was
really good and it was recorded. I learned a lot, and I asked him about the
disappearance of the kelp at Scorpion. He said that he's pretty sure it's
because of the big wind events this year. The Scorpion area is comparatively
shallow and had little defense against the strong currents.
The talk was recorded but I'm not sure how to access it.
Best wishes to all and hope we are back on the water soon,
Judy Oberlander
