Biobank aims to save West Coast kelp forests
Scientists at Simon Fraser University have developed a cryogenic freezing technique to store germplasm, or “seed”, of at-risk bull kelp in a biobank. The collection of “seed” could be used to aid restoration efforts and advance research projects such as identifying kelp populations that may be better suited to survive in the warmer waters expected with climate change.
