Summary:
- Kelp forests are important marine ecosystems that provide food and shelter for many species. However, they are under threat from climate change-induced marine heatwaves.
- Researchers found that implementing fishing bans in kelp forest areas can help these ecosystems recover and become more resilient to the impacts of marine heatwaves.
- The study suggests that protecting kelp forests through fishing restrictions can be an effective strategy to preserve these vital habitats in the face of climate change.
