The predators of bull kelp are sea urchins.
One of kelp's predators is the sea urchin. Sea otters eat sea urchins, that is how they help kelp. (that rhymes)
the predators of the Cormorant eggs and chicks include the Kelp Gulls and other birds.
Otters are a sea urchins key predators. If the sea urchin population gets out of hand in a kelp forest, all the kelp are eaten by the sea urchins and hypoxia results.
Sea otters do not eat kelp but they do live in the kelp forests. They use the deep cover as protection from predators. Sea otters eat the red sea urchin that will destroy a kelp forest if left unchecked.
A kelp forest is an ecosystem in itself. Many animals use these massive forests to shelter their young from predators. Other animals feed off of the kelp plants. When you understand how marine life lives with the kelp forests you can begin to understand the big picture.
Sea otters will flee to escape predators, take refuge in kelp forests and come up onto land.

No. Sea urchins are primary consumers and only eat sea weed, algae and kelp.
Baby gray whales live in Kelp Forests to hide from predators.
They would be in the oceanic zone. This is further down so it can sometimes help them to avoid their predators.
