discuss, compare & share kelp cultivation and early life history methodologies
improve regional contributions to kelp genetic data repositories
share & synthesize emerging research on the genetic structure of kelp populations in BC/WA
synthesize modeling and field data to inform connectivity and dispersal underlying kelp populations and associated communities
identify barriers to scalable kelp restoration in transboundary waters by working with regulators and policy-makers
review and produce open-source documentation of kelp restoration methods/techniques to guide regional work, including design/install/maintenance of compensatory mitigation and restoration sites and project success/compliance metrics
identify regions/sites for priority restoration actions, including compensatory mitigation and a mitigation bank for when in-situ mitigation is not viable
consider planning, R&D,and funding or collaborative restoration across priority sites, including scaling-up restoration efforts using best available knowledge
