Kelp beds are biologically rich marine habitats supporting a diversity of invertebrates and fish. Less well known is the use of these habitats by some species of birds. Benefits to birds continue even after kelp becomes dislodged and washes ashore. Local photographer Roy Lowe will discuss some of the species you might see using kelp beds in Oregon.
This presentation took place on October 21, 2021 presented by the Elakha Alliance.
