A small Norwegian company called Urchinomics, however, has a plan to restore the lost kelp forests and give urchin divers back their livelihoods. Their venture involves gathering large numbers of purple urchins from overrun areas, fattening them up in tanks, and then selling them to restaurants. ...

These areas are described as "sea urchin barrens". Research at Checleset Bay, Vancouver Island, and elsewhere has shown that introduced Sea Otters greatly reduce the urchin populations, allowing extensive stands of kelp to develop. These "kelp forests" drastically change the reef environment, ...

It is thought that before the Ice Age, ancient ancestors of Steller’s Sea Cow lived in tropical mangrove forests much like modern day manatees, and when the cold set in, these creatures were able to adapt perfectly to survive in the frosty environment. They achieved this by developing massiv...
sea otters potentially could help to trap150,000 to 22 million tons of carbon per yearin kelp forests. Even more striking, a 2013 study described the potential for lanternfish and other Twilight Zone fish off the western U.S. coast to storeover 30 million tons of carbon per year ...
