Answering the Call: How Canadians Can Turn Concern for the Ocean Into Real Action
The Weather Network recently highlighted one of the planet’s most extraordinary – yet often invisible – ecosystems: kelp forests.

For communities, coastal First Nations, and organizations ready to turn intention into impact, CNbS provides a clear and actionable pathway—one grounded in science, community leadership, and hope.
