Turns out, the ocean’s got our backs! Scientists in Scotland found that dense kelp forests can absorb up to 70% of a wave’s energy before it hits the shore. That means these underwater jungles could be the ultimate, natural defense against coastal erosion and storm damage. But there’s a catch: kelp habitats are fragile and need our help to thrive. Restoring and protecting them could save billions and keep coastal communities safer from wild weather. #Science #ClimateAction #OceanConservation
