Kelp forests world-wide support very high levels of marine biodiversity. This is because of their unique three dimensional nature and the complex structure of these forests. Like trees in a forest, Giant Kelp plants provide shelter and habitat for an enormous number and diversity of animals, including, fish, molluscs (sea snails), bryozoans (lace corals), polychaetes (worms), crustaceans (crabs, isopods, amphipods), echinoderms (sea urchins, seastars) and sponges.
