In this picturesque Tasmanian bay, marine scientists are bringing a once-lost habitat back to life. Tucked away in a picturesque bay on the Tasman Peninsula is a precious underwater field of giant kelp that's thriving thanks to a team of determined scientists.

This thrills me. Giant kelp is the redwood forest of the sea, just the most beautiful ecosystem. Hearing some good news about possible restorations is wonderful.

Previously. Glad to hear of something positive, although a football-field-sized patch isn’t a lot.
