Discover the Beauty of the Cape Kelp Forest
The vision for this Trail is to highlight the importance of kelp as an ocean habitat that provides an important breeding and feeding refuge for a variety of species, showcase the vital role it plays as a beach-cast food source and the protection it provides Endangered nesting coastal birds. It is essential in the production of oxygen and as a coastal buffer zone with the ability to mitigate climate change as a carbon sink, while also being a highly sought-after resource through mariculture
Cape Kelp Forest Trail Passport
A passport for the Trail will be designed and will form part of the Trail ticket kit purchased by the kelp forest explorers starting the Trail. This passport will include a detailed map, and an information page dedicated to each collaborating organisation. At the launch event, each collaborating company and organisation will receive a Cape Kelp Forest Trail starter pack which will include one of the official Trail stamps (each one to be unique to a particular stop) to be used when trail explorers produce their passports. Junior explorers will receive an activity book as part of their Trail ticket kit, which will include a map with the clearly defined Trail stops and space for the unique stamps to be applied
