Current Research
Over the past three decades, warming ocean temperatures have threatened the vitality of kelp ecosystems around the globe. In light of this, my research project aims to better understand the current state of kelp beds along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. A drop camera system was used to obtain video footage from a variety of locations with habitats potentially suitable for kelp. Percent cover analysis will then be used to map the abundance and distribution of kelp species in the area. This research is vital, since it has the potential to inform the planning of future marine protected areas.
