With your support, we work with The Bay Foundation and local divers to remove over-populations of sea-urchins, and restore giant kelp forests in Palos Verdes, Southern California.
Kelp ecosystems in California are in a state of crisis. In Southern California more than 85% of the giant kelp forests have been devastated, and in Northern Calfornia almost 95% of the bull kelp forests have disappeared in the last 10 years.
Due to the human impacts of climate change and the removal of key predators like sea otters, sea urchins (which feast on the kelp) have proliferated to create "barrens" where kelp cannot grow.
The good - once the urchins are removed - kelp is the fastest growing organism and can grow up to 2ft per day!
Every square foot of giant kelp you help to restore:
Provides employment for local fisher-people and divers
Creates critical habitat for 100s species
Sequesters carbon
You can also sign up for a SeaTrees Planting Subscription. Think about a SeaTrees subscription as a recurring donation - you can automatically restore kelp forests each month. Payments will be automatically charged on a monthly basis. No minimums or obligations – you can modify, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time!
Tax Deductible: SeaTrees is a program of 501c3 non-profit Sustainable Surf - meaning that Planting and Restoring SeaTrees is tax-deductible in the USA. Keep your receipt.
100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.
With your support, we work with Ocean Gardener and Boardriders Foundation to restore the degraded coral reefs off the coast of the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia.
Each piece of coral you help us grow:
Provides sustainable employment for the people in the Nusa Penida region of Bali, Indonesia - at a time when the pandemic had devastated Bali’s tourism-based economy
Supports over a dozen local families
Creates critical habitat for 500+ species
Your piece of coral will be grown in the Ped Acropora Coral Nursery until it istransplanted onto the reefs and monitored until the coral reef rebuilds, and marine life returns to the area. This will rapidly restore biodiversity to the reef and create a new thriving ecosystem.

The conservation of these ecosystems is vital to coastal protection, scientific research, medication, fishing, eco-tourism, and more.

Plant Mangrove SeaTrees in Indonesia
Regular price
$10.00
100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.
With your support - we work with local communities on Biak Island, Indonesia to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Provides sustainable employment for two villages on Biak Island, Indonesia
Helps to protect Biak Island from storm-surges and sea-level rise
Creates critical habitat for threatened species
Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests
You can also sign up for a SeaTrees Planting Subscription. Think about a SeaTrees subscription as a recurring donation - you can automatically plant a mangrove each month. Payments will be automatically charged on a monthly basis. No minimums or obligations – you can modify, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time!

Plant Mangrove SeaTrees in Kenya
Regular price
$10.00
100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.
With your support - we work with local communities in Mida Creek, Watamu Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.
This project restores 100+ hectares of degraded mangrove forest within the Malindi Watamu National Marine Park and Reserve - a UNESCO Designated Biosphere Area + one of the world’s oldest Marine Protected Areas.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
Provides sustainable employment and generates economic opportunities for the communities in the Mida Creek area. Community members are then able to provide meals to their families, pay for school fees, and gain access to health care with wages earned through mangrove nursery management.
Helps to protect Mida Creek from storm-surges and sea-level rise
Creates critical habitat for threatened species including Green sea turtles.
Helps protect the surrounding coral reefs from sediment runoff
Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.
