In April 2023, every Blue Wave Smoothie you ordered helped fund SeaTrees’ Kelp Restoration Science Initiative in La Jolla, California — a project dedicated to bringing kelp forests back to life along the coast. Together, we helped support the divers, scientists, and local teams working to restore one of the ocean’s most important ecosystems.
Why Kelp Matters
Kelp forests are like the rainforests of the sea. They provide shelter for marine life, protect coastlines from erosion, and absorb carbon faster than most land-based forests. But in recent years, warming waters and invasive species have wiped out huge stretches of these underwater forests. SeaTrees’ work in La Jolla focuses on reversing that loss through hands-on restoration, research, and community collaboration.
The Results
Thanks to your support, SeaTrees has made measurable progress. Their new short film captures divers replanting kelp, collecting data, and witnessing new growth beneath the surface. You can watch it here: SeaTrees Kelp Restoration Science Project. It’s living proof that small collective actions can make a massive difference.
The Ripple Effect
Since that first partnership in 2023, Earthbar has continued to support SeaTrees’ work across California — including wetland restoration at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve during Earth Month 2024. Because taking care of the planet isn’t a one-month thing for us. It’s part of who we are.
Thank You
To everyone who ordered, donated, or shared a Blue Wave smoothie — this progress belongs to you. You helped new life grow underwater, and the impact is still rippling outward today.
