Undaria Kelp Pull

A special thanks to Jennifer Ekstrom, Rebel Groove Productions, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and San Francisco Bay Keepers for making this video possible!

Undaria Kelp is an invasive species, imported from Asia, that has been showing up along the West Coast of the US where it has no natural predators.  Because the body is a wide leaf, as opposed to a stalk, it blocks sunlight and crowds out the local species.  

This effects you if you're a diver, a boater or just enjoy the beach!   Please check out this video and learn how you can help!
