What the night is about:

Kelp forests are vast, foundational marine ecosystems that support biodiversity, fisheries, and carbon sequestration while protecting coastlines.

Over the last decade, Northern California has lost over 96% of its kelp cover.

These underwater forests are alarmingly declining due to climate change and heat waves, which not only devastates marine life and food webs, but also endangers human communities reliant on kelp forests for sustenance, income, and natural coastal protection.

Click here to learn more about the "Sequoias of the Sea" film and where you can find a full screening near you!

Be part of the movement to save our underwater forests. Connect with passionate conservationists, engage in meaningful discussions, and learn how we can work together to restore our coastal habitats.


RSVP today!

(Donations are optional! A percentage of proceeds from the sales of the Patagonia beer and Hook Fish seaweed menu item are being donated to Seatrees to help the kelp.)
