Swaying forests
Because kelps photosynthesis does not function
when it is out of the water, it is normally found below low water level.
In Swedish waters it is found from about a half metre down. There, the kelp
can build real underwater
forests that sway in the waves, where, for those equiped with a mask,
there is much to discover.
Swaying forests of finger
kelp. The leaves hang down like curtains over the steep cliffs. The
picture was taken from about 5 m, upwards towards the surface.
