The Kelp
- The last stop: every order funds kelp seaforestation in the Salish Sea.
- Hectare for hectare, growing kelp can capture CO₂ faster than a forest on land.
- Restored kelp can multiply local fish biomass up to 20-fold.
- Damps waves, easing coastal erosion and storm surge.
- Needs no land, no freshwater, no fertilizer.

Our Impact
Every order helps replant kelp
Kelp forests are the rainforests of the sea. Along much of the British Columbia coast, warming water has thinned them into urchin barrens, bare stretches of rock where little else lives.
1 Kelp
Per Order Placed
So every GeoCuriosity order helps replant kelp close to home, in the Salish Sea. The work is funded through GoodAPI, verified by veritree. Our orders support the Sunshine Coast Seaforestation project, seeding giant kelp, bull kelp, and sugar kelp.
Where it happens
The Salish SeaHotham SoundPowell River
-
Cultured
Young kelp starts in a dedicated sea-forest hatchery, growing on seeded spools of braided twine.
-
Out-planted
The young kelp is planted out on line and gravel on the seafloor.
-
Growing fast
Kelp can grow up to about 30 centimetres a day, some of the fastest growth on Earth.

Out-planted in January 2026. Standing 3 to 5 metres tall by mid-April.
Who depends on kelp forests
HerringWild salmonRockfishSea ottersNorthern abalone (endangered)
Kelp creates shaded, sheltered habitat that boosts biodiversity, supports local fisheries, improves water quality, and softens coastal erosion. Replanting it rebuilds the neighbourhood, not just the trees.
The People Doing the Work
Restoration rooted in these waters
The project is carried out in collaboration with Coastal Kelp and five Indigenous partners across the Salish Sea:

Great looking shirt for an old fossil.
Exceeds my expectations
Bought for my son he loves it
I got it for my son, we are both paleo fans. He loves it.
Great t-shirt. Timely delivery.
This T-shirt goes quite well for this evolutionary biologist - in addition to the fact that as of my most recent birthday, I too am a fossil!
Beautiful t-shirt. timely delivery.
Lovely fit comfortable colour great and design brilliant
Always the same high quality, and the design perfectly matches my state of mind—it’s a huge hit!
Very satisfied with my nee tee shirt!
It is the smallest LARGE I have ever seen. Yup, I checked, the tag says L. I also don't like the fabric it's made from. I will never wear this, and want to return it.

Store owner replied: We’re truly sorry for the disappointment, and we want to make this right with you. We’ve replied to your email with a solution and hope to provide a better experience for you.
It is a really nice shirt!
It is now my most treasured shirt. Thank you!
I reached out to the company to exchange the t shirts because they were all too large. I was not given any instructions on how to return the shirts. I kept getting e mails about how sorry you felt and that I should measure the shirts. THEY WERE TOO BIG. Very unhelpful. Your company ruined a birthday gift and wasted over one hundred dollars of my money. I will not be ordering again and I will be spreading the word that your company is fraudulant
Store owner replied: We sincerely apologize for your experience and understand your frustration; we truly want to make this right with you, so please allow us the opportunity to resolve this.
Bought as gift havent given it yet

Wore it today & people loved the clippy picker-uppers. I really like the actual artwork on the dinosaur & the quality of the T-shirt is A one.
Nice material and a good fit.

I like the shirt
Beautiful T-shirt. Timely delivery.
Timely delivery. Great-looking shirt!
Great quality, I love it!
great, even though a sewing on the collar broke at the second laundry
The shirt took a while to get here, but it is a very nice shirt, soft and comfortable and it fits true to size. I will be ordering more.
It is a great design for sauropod lovers! I look forward to seeing more.
The design is a great way to show the incredible longevity of the dinosaurs!
A wonderful design of an iconic dinosaur!
Simply a great shirt and joke!
Neat shirt!
Good.
This M size T-shirt came with L width (54-55 cm) and S lenght (72 cm), which does not fit my son's size. The delivery itself took about a month....instead of 9 business days. Not satisfied at all. The T-shirt itself looks good, design is fantastic, quality seems to be fine...but now I am not sure if I want to re-order as who can tell what size will arrive?
